I do the food-sniffing thing too. When I was a kid, my grandpa said it made me look like an animal. Haha, ok, whatever. But it tells me what I need to know. Including flavor.

There are so many, I'd not know where to start, so will just go with what is probably most peculiar. I sometimes write in a mixed transliteration. It started with being the way I wrote gift ideas down, so as to keep them secret and not ruin the element of surprise.

But I also use it to write things I don't want read by accident or snooping. Like no-holds-barred stuff.

But what is it? It's words of one language written in the (different) alphabet of another. But some sounds are not represented, so those are written in the letters they'd normally be. (Oh, that's SO much clearer now!) I can write it at normal speed. Reading it is MUCH slower. So you can imagine its level of perplexity to anyone else(!) Mwahahahaha!
