In the early 20's Ernest Hemingway sent his dispatches from Paris to the
Hearst's news service in a language called cabelese. "Cabelese was an
exercise in omitting everything that can be taken for granted."* This was an
artificial language that lacked information redundancy. The purpose was to
cut down of the cost of sending a cable which unlike e-mail was not free
(about $3 per word in 1920's currency).
