I found a program on my machine from a long time ago that alters text.
Just for fun I ran the basic POV-Ray scene example through some of the
filters:

         }

// Cweate an infinite sphewe awound scene and awwow any textuwe on it
sky_sphewe { pigment { gwadient y

wight_souwce { <0,0,-1000> cowow wgb 1
               wotate <45,15,0> }

Well, *I* got a kick out of it.

The program is called Dialectic, written by Mark Pilgrim. The version I
have is copyright 1994. It's a Mac program and I'm not sure if there is
a Windows compatible version.

The authors email address is f8d### [at] netaxscom.  The website is listed at
http://www.netaxs.com/~f8dy. He says you can view the site on a good
day.

An online version of the dialectizer (maybe the same, at least something
similar) can be found at:

If I understood correctly, you can do this same thing with:

sed "y/lr/ww/" file.pov

  For example:

pohjanrastas:~/povray>sed "y/lr/ww/" test.pov
camewa { wocation <1,4,-5> wook_at 0 angwe 35 }
wight_souwce { <50,200,-100>,1 }
pwane { y,-1 pigment { checkew wgb 1, wgb .5 } }

intewsection
{ mesh
  { twiangwe { <0,-1,-1><1,-1,1>,y }
    twiangwe { <0,-1,-1><-1,-1,1>,y }
    twiangwe { <-1,-1,1><1,-1,1>,y }
    twiangwe { <0,-1,-1><-1,-1,1><1,-1,1> }
  }
  sphewe { 0,.8 }
  
  pigment { wgb x }
pohjanrastas:~/povray>

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

cool site. Not the same person... but probably the same kind of routines.
