In college, (uni kind of), we were given America's Pledge of Allegiance and we were assigned rewording every single word, including pesky small words used before nouns, (like "a" and "an.") For our "science of meaning of language" class. Skipping symbol # 20 in our Phoenician code of language is easier.
Whew!!! (Perspiring now, and I know I fudged by using a number. lol)
