It's pretty straight forward. Decode the message, each letter is consistantly-(always) replaced-(maybe) by a different letter in the alphabet.

And don't forget the spoilers!

-But wait, there's a twist. There is a vowel that has been completely removed from the quote below. It is up to you to figure out what that vowel is, and where in the words that vowel is missing. Good Luck!

If no one can get this with a reasonable amount of effort, then I will give the missing letter.

I have also removed the name of the person that said this quote.... you get that when you finish.

Hey ! Wait a sec . Is this Translator 8 or 9 ? :sees the topic title: Yeah ! I have my eyesight intact , it is Translator 9.

After 2 false starts and 3 short breaks I managed to decode #8 just now .

And now apparently Brandon has come up with #9 and CL has decoded this as well . You guys shouldn't be this sharp , that's probably the reason CL , your brain is hurting .

With the a’s...

We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don’t know anything and can’t read.

Wow, well done CL! And you too Alyanna! I wasn't sure how possible this was. Though I think I now have a rating system from 1-5 difficulty from now on.

1- Straight forward, decently long quote. Including all letters and the name of the quoted person.

2- Short quote. Possessing no conjugations. Also includes all letters and the name of the quoted person.

3- Decent length quote. Though missing a specified letter and the name of the author.

4- Decent length quote. Though missing a vowel and the name of the author.

5- Various length. Missing a consonant letter and the name of the author.

How does that sound? Guess what difficulty #10 is going to be?

Good job to you too GC. I hope you will give this (#9) just as much of an effort.

Alright, I'll have #10 up sometime today. (Depends on how Mafia IV goes).

WHICH BTW WE COULD STILL USE A COUPLE MORE PLAYERS IN MAFIA IV!

Edit: to include Alyanna

You provide a blank screen and we guess what you're thinking?

Hahaha. That's funny.

Though with the way you have been cranking out the answers for these things, I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if you could actually do it!

I was addicted to these in puzzle books for a while. It's nice to have something harder. Thanks!

Oh BTW, I gotta give credit to the origin of the quote.
