Anyone got any thoughts?

(No, I don't really imagine it's the result of serious research anywhere)

Hmmm... perfectly legible to me. Only word that made me pause for thought at all was 'mses' - I inserted a vowel and read it as Moses which confused me.

Although that does bring me onto my point - I've heard that the same research is true of eliminating vowels.
