[Christopher Kimball <transcriber AT tanach.us>]

An advantage to looking at unpointed text from time to time is to 
appreciate its occasional ambiguity.  And it's also a confidence builder 
for students of Hebrew.

Children in Israel are apparently taught to write pointed text for a 
while, but are eager to have the pointing requirement dropped as they 
advance.  As an older, but not better student, I was also glad not to 
have to point my writings because pointing added another level of 
spelling problems.
