Calculate briefs - CSRNation2024-03-29T06:46:43Zhttp://csrnation.ning.com/forum/topics/1736041:Topic:36750?commentId=1736041%3AComment%3A40161&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noYou know, I've been thinking…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2008-02-22:1736041:Comment:401612008-02-22T16:38:05.641ZBrenda Rogershttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/BrendaRogers
You know, I've been thinking about this post and all it really means. TPTB say that stroking out every single sound is the way to be RT ready and that briefs are how you run into problems. This is a perfect example of how false that is. If KLAIRT had been used, it would translate to exactly what you intended, whereas the FIVE strokes you used gave you a bunch of perfectly translated but absolutely wrong words. How can this be defended by those promoting these stroke-intensive theories?

Watch out, Jessica! You're going to start briefing and phrasing and hardly paying attention to conversations you're in because you'll be thinking, "I think I could write that in ONE STROKE!" LOL

You're right, I really should invest in getting that book. That's like the "brief bible." That's one I would definitely look at a lot now especially now that I've started shortening my writing. It has a lot of great suggestions and variations on how to write stuff. I had this ALL DAY custody hearing in court today that normally I would have thought was grueling, but it wasn't because I've just recently started implementing tacking on the -D, -S, -Z, etc., on more words than I normally have.…

<br />
But seriously, it's helped. Yes, I've had to add a lot more entries to the dictionary today, but that's a good thing. I really do think my speed is soooooo much better for it -- and I thought I was already fast! I really hung on ALL DAY without my hands getting tired and it actually was getting a little fun (which reminds me why I love this job). Basically, I had a good day. Sometimes they can be so few and far between for me.<br />

Mark, I usethe -DZ for -ing -- LOVE it! But sometimes -TDZ is tough to catch. In those cases, I skip the T and go straight to -DZ. In this particular word, I just tuck the -G. I use that trick with accounting, however:<br />
-KT=account<br />

khraeut, khraeuts,khraeugs,khraeutd, and here's a weird one that I like, khraeutdz for calculating. Mark Kislingbury taught me that one, he uses the final dz to add "ing" into one-stroke briefs. Some of his briefs are sort of tough to remember, but man, they are short, and short means fast! (In case you didn't know, he's the world record holder for speed and accuracy)<br />
<br />
You will pass the CRR. Never give up!

LOL Mysc! I don't think I could do it on a standard machine. But I was thinking about it, and what's to stop anyone from including the -D? LETSDZ (or whatever misstroke that comes out of the attempt) is probably nothing else anyway, and three strokes for "let's see" is kind of ridiculous. :)

I never really understood using -SZ for a double-S-spelled word when what we're going for is phonetics. It forces you to come back for the plural, and that's a waste. If it's for conflict resolution, I get that, but I wouldn't use it for each and every doulble-S spelling. I use -GS for guess in phrases too.<br />
<br />
EUGS - I guess<br />
UGS - you guess (as in, "Are you guessing?")<br />
<br />
Tucking is GREAT, Jessica. Really. Anything to shorten strokes is a good thing. Fewer strokes, few opportunities for misstrokes,…

Tucking is GREAT, Jessica. Really. Anything to shorten strokes is a good thing. Fewer strokes, few opportunities for misstrokes, fewer opportunities for mixed strokes (like your "my calculator" issue) ,more accurate translation. I'm tucking things now that I never thought to tuck. I was taught to tuck the -R for -er, -L for -ly, -G for -ing, and -E for -y sounds (like exactly). But now I'm tucking initial R for things like bumper (BRUFRP) and -L for -kle sounds (remember Michael?), and every other thing I can think of that will work -- and lots of asterisk uses.
