alexz it seems to be a labour intensive code. You have to reverse lookup a dictionary of terms to get a shorter word.
Any efficiency gained by typing 10 characters instead of 50 is offset by the lookup time. I'd guess that secrecy of business transactions is more of a motivator. Jan 20, 2013

hernesheir I sent telegrams when I lived in Mexico. I was chargedbytheword, so I sentmanymessages composed of longwords. The cipher book cited here mentions efficiency and secrecy as well. I suppose those secrets ranged from corporate strategies to the protection of presidents, payrolls, and Pinkerton men. Jan 19, 2013
