Ordinary writing at Shorthand Speed for all Languages
This, the only World Brief-Script in existence, breaks down all the present language barriers to free international correspondence between all countries.
"Another outstanding and attractive feature of Dutton Speedwords [Rap Lin Rie] is the fact that it is the first abbreviated writing invention in history which at once transcribes all languages." ---R. J. G. Dutton
Rap Lin Rie is the nickname I have given to Dutton World Speedwords. Dutton World Speedwords was intended to be a shorthand system that could also be used as an international language. And, it turns out that it is the perfect email shorthand system for the 21st Century.
Dutton World Speedwords. Dutton World Speedwords was intended to be a shorthand system that could also be used as an international language. Rap lin rie, the nickname I have given it, means, in Speedwords, "rapid language shorthand".
"T e perfectly clear a every sensible person k one d l greatest difficulties i l way d international understanding & good will e l fact k every nation speaks u different lin, so k u person who lives i one country e unable a speak, write or communicate i any way with one who lives i another, unless s happens a have learnt l latter's lin. But c requires time, trouble & ability, & even then t e n enough a know only 2 lin; there e hundreds, if n thousands more, & n one person p possibly know more than u very small number d g. One yp well imagine u visitor d another world expressing si surprise a l fact k l people living i c world should us so many ido lin & k, f instance,u person i England should not e able a communicate m one i France, although only ab twenty miles away. Surely t e te k u definite effort should e made a bring into us some medium d international communication which every nation could understand so k political, scientific, economic & ot ideas could e exchanged easily & freely between ido communities f l benefit & advancement d al.
By c means u real bond d fellowship could e brought into e between l various peoples & gi governments, so k m better understanding & fuller cooperation between g war should finally e done away m -- indeed, t should e impossible, especially i l age d l telephone, wireless, aeroplane & perhaps d ot things yet a come [l internet m ti email system]& a bring l nations d l world even closer together. L new medium [email, &e] should e lox, simple, practical & fas a learn, & i c respect Dutton Speedwords "Rap Lin Rie" (Mote) meets every requirement.
As u foundation t has only 493 very lox (short) words d international origin which, by l addition a each d single final letters produce other words d related meaning & by simple rules f putting 2 or more words together give fresh words whose meaning e immediately evident. L result e k l student d Mote needs only learn l 493 lox words & u few simple rules a e able a express any idea which can ko into l human mind; & can e done i u matter d weeks, not years. N only k, but Mote e so lox k they can e written, typed or set up f printing a double l speed d ordinary lin, &, na, l amount d paper & d labour required -- a say nothing d l cost -- e correspondingly reduced by u half.
Thus, Dutton Mote "Rap Lin Rie" e u ideal medium d communication & should e learned & practiced universally o grounds both d economy & world progress, & although l latter reason e really l more important d l 2, t must e remembered k Mote fully answers l condition k u universal medium must above al e simple & fas a learn." Reginald J. G. Dutton, F.R.S.A.
