It's kinda funny to notice this works for me in English, too. I've seen this same stuff in Finnish before but never in English.

I was wondering if this idea would work in other languages (besides Australian ), so now I know!

I think it's relative to the level of skill in English. I could very well say English is my second language because of my fluency in it.
Quite ironic since Finland's second official language is Swedish and I can barely introduce myself in Swedish.

Okay, I am going to be serious here for a moment.  Spelling is important.  We "recognize" intent in the examples here, because we already know the correct spelling.  A person who did not read the language, or was illiterate, would be clueless.

I have always enjoyed reading medieval English texts, because of the archaic spelling, and trying to figure out, or sound the words.  It is interesting how words in English have changed pronunciation, even in our lifetime.

By way of example, in the Lennon-McCartney song, "I've just seen a face," from the 1960s, the word "been" rhymes with "seen," rather than with, for instance, "hen."  And in that song, "aware" rhymes with "her."

And I love the wonderfully archaic "silent e" as in "shoppe" or "olde"

Kia Ora Jamie,

You're lucky... I was just about to spite you for being too 'serious' 

No, it's true words are funny critters, they mean nothing/empty/void until we give them the power to create... And more often than not can  get a person into deep siht...Tkae ti form smoenoe taht konws..
