Rot-13 - (short for "Rotate 13")
is a simple letter substitution encryption scheme that replaces the current letters in a
message with letters that are 13 positions ahead in the alphabet. For example, the
letter a is replaced by n, b by o, c by p, etc.,
while numbers and punctuation are not encoded. Some internet forums utilize Rot-13 to hide
offensive material from accidental viewing (dirty jokes, for example). Unless you
choose to decode these messages, they will simply appear to be gibberish. To use this
encoder/decoder, just type or paste some ASCII Text into the box, and click the "Rot-13"
button. If the material is already Rot-13 encoded, its hidden message will be decoded. Similarly,
if you wish to encode your own message, one click will do the trick! When your mouse is anywhere
inside the box, press Ctrl+A to highlight the entire message, and then press Ctrl+C to copy the
contents into your computer's clipboard. Ctrl+V will paste the clipboard text into other boxes
(like the 420-character [6x70] Facebook
"Write something..." field or the 140-character Twitter
update box):
