A communications apparatus and process, particularly formulated to eliminate orthographic inconsistencies in a language, which thereby facilitates communication in the language. The process is particularly useful in teaching English as a second language and in overcoming illiteracy. The process uses symbolic logic to define representations for the verbalized or phonetic components of a non-numeric message. The representations can take the form of either numeric or alpha-like characters. In a preferred form, a twelve key keypad is proposed with ten numeric keys, a spacer key, and a position designation key. Using such a keypad, a one or two digit number is entered, each number being representative of a particular verbalized component of a message.
