chOUpiD0u cAse
This is a project that explains what, how and where to use the cHouPidoU case.
Details
I'll do you one better: Why ?
What is cHouPidoU case ?
It is a way of writing text but by :
- Replacing certain letters with symbols
- Using uppercase and lowercase on certain letters
- Ommiting certain letters while retaining the meaning of the word
Origins
For almost a decade now, we have been familiar with the choupidou slang,especially in the landscape of Mauritius. Some say it was a language given to us in heritage before the demise of mobile phones with physical keyboards.
Conflicted History
Over the years, this dialect was made fun by intellectuals but at the same time was used by free souls in order to embed both emotion and meaning in words. As if the words were being spoken and could convey expressions !
Technological usefulness
Another facinating facet(see what I did there?) of the choupidou case was it's ability to reduce the length of words, hence saving space, without loosing meaning or removing the embeded emotions.
That was precisely why, choupidou-case is perfect for programming, it retains context while performing human readable compression.
