But that *is* an English version, just in code.

I'd be much more impressed if he wrote *entirely* in a *conlang*, not an
English replacement code (which, heck, not even the military uses
anymore!)

I do understand his reason for doing it, but I don't see a lot of actual
evidence that it works.  I tried to wade through the feminist post, but
found it wasn't all that profound, although if he'd written in it standard
English some people might have found it interesting.
