I actually tried E the other day at work. Although I changed it to
Schwa. /@: @ @ @:::: @ @:: @/ It worked amazingly well. The more
humorous one of my cow-orkers liked it. He also asked if I had a
website and I had to show it to him. He checked out Rinya and found
it really cool, but a bit too linguisticy and complex for him. And
he seemed really sincere too (about liking it that is). Bad thing
he's on vacation now until my summer job is over and I get back to uni.
Anyway...
