- One example I posted when I discussed these a while back was:
-
- NO SIX IS ON
-
- (for which someone else invented a context that turned this into a
- meaningful sentence; as I recall it had something to do with the game
- cricket.)

- Also, as was pointed out at the time, one can expand the possibilities
- enourmously by choosing the right font. As case in point, see the many
- examples in the work of Scott Kim.
