Welcome to ChatterWiz.com!
'~l'^m~,WC. t^. 'h!''~r'}z,CT'W.[.]'^m,C.[!]
Thank you for participating in this social experiment!
I sincerely appreciate your time and contribution to this project!
This is purely an exercise to have a little fun in communication.
It could also serve as a means to vent, and de-stress while you experiment with a new way to express yourself and communicate with others.
Sincerely,
Aurora L. Rogers
Queen of Chatter
The Mission
-
Develop a pilot group to learn and use ChatterWiz
-
Have participants use ChatterWiz in "facebook and twitter status" and use #chatterwiz or http://tinyurl.com/decodecw with each comment
-
We would love your feeback on the:
a) learning process,
b) "buzz" created among friends (document what they say to you when you use ChatterWiz), and
c) suggestions and ideas you may have on improving the learning process and methods for spreading the word
Experiment
The goal of this social experiment is to:
- Create a micro social media environment of ChatterWiz users
- Test the effectiveness of learning tools
- Observe the impact of ChatterWiz in their "unaware" social media environment.
What is ChatterWiz?
ChatterWiz is a secret code language for social media users (facebook, twitter, im) that allows them to talk in private code.
What does the ChatterWiz look like?
ChatterWiz looks, well, a little wacky! :)

People will not know what you are saying unless they have a way to translate your code!
Where did ChatterWiz come from?
ChatterWiz is an unique code chat language developed by Victor Landa and Aurora Rogers. To make a long story short, these two people became friends on a social media site after the tragic loss of someone they had in common. One day (March 19th, 2010 to be exact) through instant chat, and a series of random events, they came up with what would become ChatterWiz. The ChatterWiz "decoder" was officially released to the world on October 5, 2010.
What languages are supported by ChatterWiz?
We have tested it in Spanish and English. We anticipate that any of the languages using the Roman alphabet will easily adapt to ChatterWiz.
Romance languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian
Germanic languages: English and German, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic
How do I write it?
ChatterWiz v.1.0 Tutorial
OVERVIEW
In ChatterWiz the vowels are replaced with symbols and random consonants are replaced with an ' (apostrophe). The "displaced" consonants are then placed in order at the end of the word between a comma and a period. Periods mark the end of each word.
Word
(original word)'o'd,WR.
(Partial translation: Only consonants replaced)'^'d,WR.
(Complete translation to ChatterWiz)
(Thank you Victor for this diagram)
Chat
(original word)'ha',CT.
(Partial translation: Only consonants replaced)'h!',CT.

CONSONANTS
Replace consonants as you see fit for the best disguise :).
Replace consonants with an ' (apostrophe).
The "displaced" consonants are then placed in CAPITAL LETTERS at the end of the word between a ,comma and a period.
Each omitted consonant must be documented in the order they are taken out. Periods mark the end of each word.
'^n'~rf$',WDL. = Wonderful
VOWELS
| Vowel | Numerical Value | ChatterWiz Code |
| a | 1 | ! |
| e | 2 | ~ |
| i | 3 | } |
| o | 4 | ^ |
| u | 5 | $ |
SPECIAL CHARACTERS
- Brackets are used to set apart the true meaning or representation of the actual symbol: [$]100 = $100 or ![.]'[.]![.]'[.],SP. = A.S.A.P.
- For added confusion (or fun) the % symbol can be used when there is a duplicate character in a sequence -- as an indicator of a letter times exponential power: S~%2 = see
| Symbol | ChatterWiz Meaning | ChatterWiz Code |
| ^ (times) | Multiply or duplicate | % |
| , (comma) | Begin key or word map | , |
| . (period) | End word | . |
| [ brackets ] | True meaning of character or number | [ ] |
| ' (apostrophe) | Place holder for displaced consonant | ' |
| / (forward slash) | Preceeded by capital letter | / |
