Some people need to have a macro written for them so that they can
type phonetically and it will expand what they typed into a
human-readable language.

First assumption one could make is that they are lazy.

Second assumption is that they never learned how to type.

Third assumption is that a person who does this has only learned the
absolute minimum of English to survive and refuses to learn anything
beyond that. (This is an English language list).

Fourth assumption is that the younger generation, which texts and
twitters, is too impatient to communicate in English (that has vowels)
and/or to spell correctly and/or to use minimally acceptable grammar.

Beyond this, of course, a succinct (not too brief, but not too
verbose, and accurate) description of the system and the problem
encountered and what research had already been done, would be nice for
the volunteers to have to use to assist.

Of course, all we have at this point is some text that can lead to all
kinds of assumptions, applicable or not, because we don't have enough
information and the information that we do have leads us to think
negatively of the person who initiated the email thread.

See how easy it is to give readers the wrong impression about yourself
on the basis of what you write and how you write it?

Oh, well, I've ranted again...
