Ditto. Leave as is.

Ditto. I'd leave them all alone.

Wendy, they all looked okay to me.

I can just imagine the witness pointing (indicating).

No problem! Figured people considering the LS might wonder about that too.

:) yeah, they keep talking about which felt stronger, impact one or impact two. You're right, not that important to be capped ~ plus, like I said, it looks weird and makes me pause every time I read it. Of course, I'm sure the attys just glance right by it as I'm overanalyzing ~ oh, well, that's our job and curse as reporters LOL!!
Thanks!
p.s. I just wrote to you in the LS blog ~ I probably should have emailed you or left it on your page ~ sorry!

Are you talking about two hits on the car? lower case, written out numbers. Don't give them importance they don't deserve. :)
Comment by Stacy Tegner on March 24, 2009 at 9:56
I'm not sure this is the right section, but here's my question:

Impact 1 and Impact 2?? It looks weird to me. Should it be impact one and impact two??

I haven't done a PI case in so long, I don't remember what I do. I'm so used to doing Page 1, Paragraph 1, Section ~ blah, blah, that I automatically capped impact and did the number but now it looks funny!
Thanks :)

If you don't have "Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters," you should definitely get it. It gives all the "rules," lots of examples, and even has punctuation exercises (with answers) at the back of the book. Personally I don't know why it isn't a required textbook in CR schools.

Just emailed you!

Brenda, I don't know anything about the Mark K seminar. Where can I get details?
