It seems that we have reached the point where we can no longer communicate in English or other languages but must use a whole new method. It is a very interesting manner of writing and surely as time goes on will become what we do instead of writing. Well, some of us old poops won't ever make it but all of you millennials will make it easily.

The first book to be t***slated so far is the Holy Bible. Trying to make it simple enough for those who just can't read the Bible. Yep, the Book has been t***slated into emoji.

Well, they had to so something didn't they? I mean, folks souls were at stake. Recognizing that our "education" system, (following the examples of our political system and journalism), had become 12 years of entertainment, turning out cretins who can neither read nor pay attention to anything for more than 30 seconds - this is their desperate attempt to keep God's word available.

Did you notice that I said we old poops probably won't be able to learn that system? Now let me say that I really don't know how I read crap like that since I learned letters and just don't think I can learn to read pictures. How do I know what they are saying with that kind of "writing"? Did you notice in the NYT article that they stayed away from a book or so when the t***slation was done? Was that so they wouldn't have to make up some horrible pictures? I don't know but I see this one as a very progressive appearing method of teaching people who didn't learn to read in school how to read.

I'm 73 and I stared looking at the pictures for awhile before it finally started making sense but there was something lost in this new t***slation that is for sure.

Just what I think the originators of the system wanted to happen. I think they surely want simpletons to be taken in by this system of "writing".

Every day I think I've seen it all, ya know, the world going to hell in satan's hand basket.
I'm going to be optimistic.
Believers, don't give up.

We could teach small children to read English but too much of that stopped long ago.

Not a wise decision to mess with GOD'S WORD.

I truly hope that you are being sarcastic.
"desperate attempt to keep GOD'S WORD available"??!!
So, it's up to mortals to do GOD'S job?
