YS: Your sentences are contrived.  For example, take the last one --
why would anyone need to add a whole new sentence except to
make up for the missing vowels in your contrived example?  And
why don't you have the entire sentence without vowels?  "thy lft
mss n a bskt n th rvr btwen th rds", "tht by s s rd. h nvr sys thnk
y fr nthng." 

JCR: I just new you were going to say that ;-) 

I cordially invite you to demonstrate how many 
ambiguous meanings "thy lft mss n a bskt n th rvr btwen 
th rds" and "tht by s s rd. h nvr sys thnk
y fr nthng." I'll even grant you leaving the maters 
lectionis out of 'nthing' and 'in' and 'rivr'.
