I loved the math! Thanks for working it up. It is very encouraging to see that RPR and ultimately RMR speeds are possible as I continue to shed/modify the Phoenix theory that I originally learned. What a physically burdensome theory to have learned--thanks for speaking out against the dogma of those who teach it!!

Mark,

I happen to think that showing the math side to writing short is great. For those who have doubts, you really can't argue with the numbers. What an eye-opener when you show the percentages.

As an aside, today was my very first day as a member to the club. Tami highly recommended it, and I can tell already it will be helpful.

Please tell me what you think of today's instructional video, about the math.

"We were men with sorrows behind us, and battles too; men with regrets behind us of which we did not speak, nor too often think. With none to share our sorrows or regrets, we kept them to ourselves, and our faces were impassive. Men with no one to share their feelings learn to conceal those feelings. We often spoke lightly of things which we took very seriously indeed. We were sentimental men, but that was our secret, for an enemy who knows your feelings is an enemy who has a hold on you. Not all poker is played over a card table." - Louis L'Amour, "The Lonely Men" (a western novel)

Canada went really well. Glad to be back in Texas though. Home.

Good answer, Tami.
I do the Y- and J- as prefix and suffix, I guess thinking : 3 fingers on left is prefix, and 4 fingers on left is suffix.

So, downward = YOUN/WARD and rundown = RUN/JOUN

I don't have hyphenated versions - I tend to just DEFINE them if they should be hyphenated.

"Engine" is now ENG.

I just tested it out. It was "evening," but I use the *F with "evening." Must have been an old entry.

Sorry for butting in. I'm sure Mark will get you the answer you need. :)

Well, maybe you should have learned them the way I do them, J for prefix and Y for suffix. HA!

J comes earlier in the alphabet, so it's a prefix. Y is at the end of the alphabet; hence, a suffix.

(I know you remember the sermon.)

Of course I still two stroke "engine." :(

Did you start a new trial today?

My jury just retired at 10:45, and we're picking another jury at 1:30.

And you think I don't work hard. :)

Mark,
I use the J and Y to pull words together and hypenate them, you know. But one that messes me up is the suffix -in.
I keep forgetting it's "engine."
today I wrote "a lock engine loan"

how do ya do it?
