Yeah, my comment about Jabkerwocky was a little tongue in cheek as far as cryptograms go. It would certainly be a laugh and a brain basher to hack at it. Thanks for posting these daily cryptograms.

Margret Mitchell and Mark Twain took great pride in accurately representing the dialect of their characters, their writing was not a sloppy parody of "colored folks" talk. They intended to do justice to their characters, and their unique language. Of Harper Lee, I do not know, but the conversation between Scout and Cal (Calpurnia, her nanny) about the appropriate use of "white-folks talk" and "[negro] talk" is enlightening and delightful. And would never make it into a Hollywood movie.

I have been toying with the idea of posting some dialect for while, but cannot find suitable material that conveys a message. And there is that guts for garters thingy.
