Additional Hints Encryption Language

[+doctor scotland]

apparently, some people can speak Klingon (something to do with star trek i believe), some can even speak Welsh, which sounds similar, but with a few english words thrown in!

 

can anyone fluently read or speak the encryped hints?

and if so, what should this language be called? - cachenese? cachish? cachian?

 

your thoughts please.......!?

It's called ROT13 (Rotate by 13 places).

 

And its been around for a lot longer than geocaching has. I'm sure there are quite a few people who can read it.

I don't think the original poster was asking for an explanation of how the code works, I think they knew that.

 

They were asking if anybody can read it fluently without resorting to the code table, pencil etc.

 

I used to cache with bits of paper and could recognise 'under a fallen tree' and 'in the holly' without decoding.

 

Now I use a PDA and decoded hints are just a click away - so all those skills are lost.

If we examine the time of Rutson's post I think it is safe to assume he was trying to be funny
