this is a great code I used to use in school so no one but me and my friend could decipher it. But is so simple, few ever break it.

Too many smart people here, not sure it will last long.

Yes you're right - just didn't have anything better to do tonight.....

Have fun.

Even at 6:56 am I broke the code in 30 seconds... Probably most folks will get is in view of the fact that we use computers a lot. Would have been more difficult in the 1800's. Stay well and and get to bed earlier!

got it in 20.....used it myself in years past.
We even put new stickers on our keys to make it easier to type without thinking.
Later on, we re-coded the keys to an agreed upon random configuration that changed each week. We called ourselfs the FBISS. Our keyboards got very sticky!

For some reason, I wound up taking ancient Greek in my early education. For a while, I would would write notes to myself in English using Greek letters. I could read what I wrote, but it looked like gibberish to anyone else.

Side story. A famous classical composer was hit by a bus in Manhattan. After he woke from a brief coma, he started speaking ancient Greek. I forget the details, but the human brain is strange.

But it drives the spell-check mad.

Figured it out in about 10 seconds. Took 45 to translate to text.

The problem with it is the placement of certain characters on the keyboard. A very old typewriter of modern keyboard implementation on a smart device.

Wow. You guys are smart. All I can do is stare at it.
My highest math is only algebra and physics.
