Another radical way you could do this: create a major(!) mode 
which derives from text-mode but unbinds all vowel keys. That way 
you can't even type vowel...

You could come up with some way to type vowels in those cases that 
you do want to have a vowel (e.g., when a word starts with one). 
Perhaps bind the capital vowels to a command that inserts the 
lower-case variant (so typing `A` would actually insert 'a' in the 
buffer), if your shorthand involves not using capital letters. Or 
create a command that asks for a vowel and inserts it, and bind it 
to a key, say `=`. Then you'd have to type `=a` to actually insert 
'a' into the buffer. (You may be able to use a custom input method 
to do that, actually).
