Cool project. I've always wanted to learn the semaphore alphabet, and I'm interested in alternative keyboards.

The lifeguards at the beach I visit use it to communicate to each other from between lifeguard stands, and I'm always curious what they saying.

Plus, I thought it would be fun to be able to communicate with them in their own secret(ish) language.

It's highly likely they are communicating in a shorthand that isn't meaningful to you even if you could read the individual letters!
