Texting is Hebrew

The headline of this blog is pretty much the full blog.  Hebrew is written mostly without vowels, just as texting on thumb operated cell phones is mostly vowel-less.

Reading Hebrew means putting in your own mental vowels and paying close attention to context to know the verbal word that corresponds to the written word.

Hebrew, like texting needs a few vowels. It has "a" and uses several pseudo characters as vowels, such as "y", "i",  and "v".

Were the early writers of Hebrew uniquely seeing the future with cell phones?

Absolutely not.  There are many early languages that have alphabets that are short on vowels...the reason is obvious.  Just as with cell phones, when the context is known, the multiplicity of words, formed with the same consonants, is not a problem requiring a solution.
