Since reading doesn’t actually involve a letter-by-letter examination of the material, I wonder how a lossy compression algorithm that used words with the right shape would do compared to lossless compression?

Interesting project - it could be taken further and apply some form of txt speak dictionary (E.g. Great->gr8 etc)
