    Ee’s eeee eeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeee ee eeeeee eeeeeeeeeee eeee eeee eeeeee. Ee eeeee eee eee eeeeeeee, eeee ee.

    .

    It’s even more difficult however to solely communicate with that letter. At least for the receiver, that is.

      Okay, challenge accepted. As characters such as spaces and general punctuation are allowed, I can encode letters using binary and you can decipher them. Codex: E is 1, . is zero. A space signifies one number has terminated, and another has begun. A hyphen will denote the ending of a word.

        I wanted to be smart and just use Bash pipes to get the result (basically: sed | xattr -n1 command_that_turns_binary_into_decimal | command_that_turns_decimal_into_char ) but I couldn’t get the xattr part to work :(

        This would’ve been perfect for piping dammit! I had to do it by hand just now so I wasted in total like 30 minutes on this.

        I rate my experience a 1/10

          Well, I appreciate the effort anyway. I did it by hand too, here’s my alphabet (lovingly named Elphabet) where I pasted letters one at a time lol:

          Elphabet
          - A: ....E 
          - B: ...E. 
          - C: ...EE 
          - D: ..E.. 
          - E: ..E.E 
          - F: ..EE. 
          - G: ..EEE 
          - H: .E... 
          - I: .E..E 
          - J: .E.E. 
          - K: .E.EE 
          - L: .EE.. 
          - M: .EE.E 
          - N: .EEE. 
          - O: .EEEE 
          - P: E.... 
          - Q: E...E 
          - R: E..E. 
          - S: E..EE 
          - T: E.E..
