Re: Gen-Y'er boss in Dilbert cartoon

Hebrew is written without any vowels.

I have it on very very good authority that this is not exactly correct.
There are circumstances under which it IS written without vowels and
circumstances under which it IS written _with_ vowels.

And, there are other caveats, too.

There's a form of Hebrew with dots around the letters, which attempt
to show particular vowel sounds. This is what is typically used when
somebody is first learning how to speak/write Hebrew. In today's
Israel, Hebrew is generally written with consonants only.

Though to be more exact, some Hebrew consonants are sometimes used as
a "substitute" to indicate a vowel, like the letters aleph and ayin.
(In some dialects of Hebrew, aleph and ayin are just silent letters).
