I have seen these things before. Yes, after the first line or three, a person can get an idea of what it is saying.
Don't like it though. It's like reading a post with no paragraphs, periods, or commas. Drives me nuts!
As a matter of fact, there have been some posts here at CM that I am sure were interesting......... I just couldn't get past the lack traditional punctuation and paragraphs.
If the also lack the use of capital letters for the beginning of a sentence, I really get frustrated.
And no, I am not a member of the punctuation police!

Actually, this reminds me of a very UK-thing concerning personalised car registration plates. UK car plates are issued by the govt. via the DVLA. Over the years the combinations change i.e. in 1983 you would get 3 letters, 1-3 numbers and a final letter suffix to denote year. TYH 335 Y In 1984 they changed (as we couldn't have Z) to letter-prefix. I.E. A 335 TYH.
Of course a 5 looks like an 's' and 1 an 'I' etc.
There is actually a team at the DVLA which check out likely combinations and decide not to issue them due to spelling, or resembling, crude words. In 1976 STR 1 P was not issued. One that did get through was OBO 10 X (Oh bollox!) when spaced correctly. Now people are ingenious. As plates use black letters, if you use a black screw-head cover strategically placed it can change the look of a letter or number.
Unbelievably, PEN 15 was issued (before the DVLA came into existence), as was ORG 45 M where the black screw cover would be placed under the left side of the '4' to make it look like an 'A'. FU 2 is in existence as is BS 1.
EAT 54I T was for sale for £8995 not long ago.

Aside from lack of vowels, showing how our minds process things when reading, we generally only need the words with the first and last letters correct, while in the middle, in any order, and still read it just fine
For emxlpae, you sohunldt hvae any polmerbs rdinaeg tiihs, wtih jsut the msot csuorsy gnclae.
it's also when writing, why it's so hard to edit your own work - you expect certain letters and words to be there and others not, missing a lot and ending up with things like 'I just got back from the the store a few hours ago'.
