Because English words can be mangled quite a bit and the original meaning
can still be understood, I wonder now and then if this fact was exploited
in the realm of cryptography. Now it wouldn't make much sense given the
math involved in modern cryptography, but for paper and pencil ciphers,
maybe it would.
