Seconded. Definitely unreadable. For anyone who didn't click through, a line from their self-chosen sample: >'kause jou gnaw jusd wuaed thoe sai
I read that as: 'cause you know just what they say Of which, only 'they' was wrong. Doesn't seem that unreadable.
Interesting idea though I don't agree with his statement: > The goal of the project is to make text hard to read for computers yet fairly easy to read for humans I found it impossibly difficult to read and I'm an native English speaker. I'd wager people who studied English as a second language might find it harder.

E.g.: "I soumetymese scie jou pes outcyde mi dour"
In my mind, "soumetymese" reads as "s-how-meh-teemesseh". "Scie" in Italian means trails. That automatically reads as "she-eh" (not "see"), as it's supposed to be pronounced in Italian. "Jou" reminds me of the joule energy measurement unit, therefore automatically comes out as "jaw-ou" instead of "you". And so on.

Which means that it is unreadable - because that's not what it says! You couldn't read it.

Almost smells like a bug. English phonetics don't read J as a Y sound in any word I know of.
English is my 2nd language btw, but my practice reading Chaucer in high school helps with this. English before spelling standardized was ... fun.
At first look it doesn't pass the search engine test. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=I%27ve+bien+aloune+whyth+jou+eensi...

To you, maybe not. But my point was that myself (specifically) and many others who aren't as comfortable with the written English language would find that text impossible to parse compared to other human-readable obfuscation techniques.
In my case I am dyslexic. I don't like disclosing that as I try my best not to let it affect me (I don't see it as an excuse, I see it as a weakness I need to try harder at - but that's a digression). If I struggled then I would bet that a lot of others who equally have to work harder at reading would struggle to read that as well.
