Purposeful Stacks

[Tami]

In an effort to keep these in one place . . .

Mark's recent post:

had to go THOG
had to be THOB
had to do THOD

The latest one I'm working on:

so that STHAO

and all the wonderful ending words that fit with it . . .

so that you would STHAOULD
so that you can STHAOUK
so that you went to the STHAOUFRGTD
so that he had STHAOED

I am struggling to 'get' the 'so that' ones!! My poor brain can't think stacked, LOL! I LOVE these tho, so hoping it comes around soon!

[Rhoda Collins]

SR is what I use for the 'have'....I've taken what Mark started in the -to go/-to be/etc phrases and built it into other ones.

[Tami]

Yes, I just asked Clay. He's my (weekend) resident expert on the Magnum Steno theory. :)

have to go STROG
have to be STROB
have to do STROD

Hi, Barb! Great to see you here!!

You, too, Rhoda and Trina!

[Rhoda Collins]

LOL, I just cringe at the stacked ones. I've defined w/the -FT like the others for now....I love MS!! The book is awesome! I have Mark's book from years ago...the small, thin one.

Yvette,

I love that "have to be sure" and "have to say."

[Jill S. Driscoll]

isn't it true STRAONT I always liked that one

[Gary Bearden]

Wow! I love those "have to ..." stacks. I also am a MangumSteno Club member, and Mark just amazes me with his writing methods! When I bought his Stenomaster theory book a year or so ago, I read it from cover to cover as quickly as I could. Having previously learned Phoenix theory, I was emotionally conflicted -- happy that I found Stenomaster theory yet depressed that I had spent (wasted) so much time with Phoenix theory! The funny thing was that for several months, my writing speed suffered and my head really ached as I tried to upgrade my dictionary and shorten my writing!! It was just really too much to comprehend in such a short amount of time. Consequently, I have been waiting to purchase Mark's new book because I don't want to "gorge" my brain like I did last time! Now, I really look forward each day to his phrase and instructional videos! And his speed videos, they kick my butt!! But I am getting faster.

Yes, Gary, sometimes I just need to step back and take a smaller bite.

My son passed me long ago, and he laughs when he finds out the outlines I'm still working on, like "so that."

I probably should have gotten that one a very long time ago, BUT I keep plugging along at my pace, and, no matter what, my writing really is getting better every day.

Keep us posted on your progress!

[Rhoda Collins]

I'm plugging still on that one too, Tami. Felt better today. Will give it a go tomorrow on a job! We need to hang in there!

"so that" on the left side is STHAO.

So your outline would be "so that that"

I actually use -TZ for my final "that," but I think that's what Mark's final "that" is.

Baby steps . . .

Have a great day, Girls!

[Jill S. Driscoll]

Ummmm, okay, so who turned the light on in here? I was not getting STHAO...I was thinking why not just STHA? But I see now that the "o" comes from "so." What the heck was my deal in not seeing that? LOL

I think I can baby-step this puppy.

In those bunny slippers of yours!! :)
