You mean at the level of words, or sentences? A sentence already has enough redundancy that it's frequently possible to reconstruct the original intent despite errors (as in this case), but it's impossible to be 100% certain in all cases without either severely limiting the forms of communication, or simply increasing redundancy, which will result in abbreviation.
