i'm very curious about shavian! interested in learning it for journalling purposes and for fun, but i'm wondering why other people learn it? what's your motivation and how did you go about it? do you mainly read or write? do you feel like your dialect impacts it a lot? any non-native english speakers?

For those who haven't been following along, I’ve been working on an advanced shavian transliteration tool for quite some time now. Here, at long last, is a web-ui front-end. It includes my e-book conversion and proof-reading tool (only EPub for now - but you can use the results with most modern ebook readers). There are still kinks to iron out, but I'm pretty pleased with the results, and couldn't wait to share it with everybody!

Today I transliterated Animal Farm on my cellphone. (Here’s a read-only version of that project - you cannot make edits of your own, but you can download the resulting ebook. Disclaimer: I haven’t actually proofread it yet!)
