Have you thought about having a goal of making sure the words are easy to
type?

Herman Miller and I have been bouncing ideas off each other about what makes
a specific word easier to type than another -- important for a brief script
in today's world.  Obviously, words that start on the home keys are easier,
words that repeat a letter are easier, but beyond that while we have come up
with some algorithms we don't have anything definitive.  It should be
possible to write a script to give a word a score based on its letters.

BTW, when are you coming to the States next?

Fond regards,

Jeffrey
