BRIEFS! BRIEFS! BRIEFS!

[Tracy Perry]

Does anyone have briefs for post-millenium years that include the apostrophe?

"I visited SF in '01, but moved there in '02."

I can stroke the final P before the numbers to get '01, but that's difficult most of the time.

SPW- or SB is "int" for me....

I do SPWR-R for interior and
STR-R for exterior

[Shannon Wise]

Here's some that might be helpful to those of us on the border states:

GA-RS = Garcia
GA-RZ = Garza
GOE-MZ = Gomez
RA-MS = Ramos
RA-MZ = Ramirez
GO-NZ = Gonzalez or GO-NS = Gonzales
RAOE-GZ = Rodrigez
RAEU-Z = Reyes or put in an *
LOE-PZ = Lopez
POI-F = point of view

i do years with the number bar, use R if the numbers need to be reversed, U if the numbers need to be doubled, and E for the apostrophe
'01 would be 10-ER
'02 would be 20-ER
'06 would be 0E6
'77 would be EU7
it's really easy after a while

for the 2000 years i write the number with OU
2001 would be 1OU
2006 would be OU6

int is also SPW for me, so interior is SPWR-R
anything i've tried to do for exterior is so close that i just do EX/TR-R

Tracy,
I don't know what CAT system you're on, but in CATalyst you can define a stroke to go back to the last number you've written and apply certain formats to them, like adding a dollar sign,etc. I have a stroke that will go back and put an apostrophe in front of the last number I wrote in a file. It will search back the last number and insert the apostrophe. In Catalyst it's defined as : {Prefix Number}[']
The stroke can be anything you can think of to make it easy, maybe AP or AEP or A*P or whatever suits your needs.

I do POE for '0, and then the number

[Heidi Konsten]

I do yo* and then the number. It helps me when it sounds similar, and so I think of it as yo2, yo3, etc.

'01 = 10R* (R denotes reversal of numerals)
'02 = 20*
'03 = 30*
'04 = 40*
'05 = 50*
'06 = *06
'07 = *07
'08 = *08
'09 = *09
'10 = 10*
'11 = !*E (E denotes doubling of numeral)
'12 = 12*

[Phil Stillerman]

I have a typo in my prior message -- '01 would be 10*R

[April Richardson]

The entire left upper keyboard and right upper keyboard has always been my stroke for the apostrophe before years. Weather it's pre or post-millenium years, just hit the entire upper keyboard all at once, left and right. That stroke doesn't conflict with anything else and it always worked well for me. Good luck!

[April Richardson]

Did anyone find my typo? Woops! Whether not Weather! That's what I get for typing in the dark! LOL!

SWR + -R (zero), UPB (one), AO (two), AE (three), OR (four), EUF (five), EUBGS (six), EFPB (seven), AE(G)T (eight), EUPB (nine).
just do the programming: '01 through '09
-- oh, and SWR + EPB for '010.
These are how I write just the numbers and I would follow them with a number trigger to make the apostrophe(D-GT might be the Eclipse default) ##/##/## is what it looks like, I believe.
Now that you mention it, I might put an asterisk in these outlines and use them for the apostrophe entries.
I like your picture. The shape looked snail-like. ^^
Enjoy.
