When there's only four people talking, I use SNAO, IFPLT, IRBGS, and JAO.
It works because it's a visual with where they're seated..
As soon as I have to remember this person is speaker 7 and that's this particular pattern, I lose it. Mark is good enough to do it like that.

When there's more than four, or if it's calendar court, I get creative.
Make a brief for their last name and asterisk it for the speaker sign.
or there's always BROUN/BROUN, etc.

I was foiled today because I entered these defendants' (in pro pers)names before they sat at counsel table. They sat down backwards. SNAO sat down closer to the right and the other one sat farther on the right. When it got fast, I relapsed and made the mistake that my judge conveyed to the record :)

Oh, okay. Thanks. :) I was hoping that there is an easier way to do the identifiers. LOL :)
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on June 4, 2009 at 15:14
Jaime, he means my method of "the only~" phrases that we mentioned way below.
Comment by Jaimie on June 4, 2009 at 14:48
Hi!
Clay, that is too funny! At least you can laugh about it! But I was curious when you said that you will switch to Mark's. Are you referring to doing your identifiers in a different way? :)
Comment by Clay Frazier on June 4, 2009 at 13:29
I thought he was interrupting to congradulate me on fingerspelling the judge's name at first!
hahaJK.
providing realtime is interesting....
Can't wait for some QA.

Mark,
I am sure you will be glad you read it. I hedged using "enjoy" because it is tough reading.

I will be sending an email to the school looking at your theory this weekend. We
are just finishing a family vacation. That is very exciting!!

Gary, I will be making a second edition of Magnum Steno: Write Short - Write Fast! hopefully this year, updated with everything new I've started using. Also, writing a new-and-improved theory book. About to start that.

Gary,

I often use a single steno idea for multiple things, so you can do so as well. Back pain and neck pain, etc, are very good.

Actually, i prefer PWABGS for backs, referring to someone else's note.
