This brings the memory of Internet chats in the 90s when almost nobody used Polish letters with diacritics (because it is faster to type without them and there were a lot of different incompatible encodings). Usually you can understand the meaning from the context but sometimes the same kind of funny misunderstanding would happen as there are quite a few words that without diacritics become completely different but valid words.
