Gary,

My theory teaches "the" on the final side, i.e., -T. I haven't seen a need for "the" to start any phrases. If you have any in mind, I'd be happy to look at them!

I have hundreds of phrase like with the, for the, through the, from the, put the, get the, make the, like the, but the, whether the, if the, in the, where the, which the, etc.

I have a request, friends.

Stephanie Dillard, Director of Realtime Court Reporting at GateWay Community College in Phoenix, is trying to get my theory (StenoMaster Theory book and Magnum Steno book) into the school. She's hitting some resistance, and she has some testimonials but she has requested more.

If any of you are interested, not only Tami and Clay, but any of you, in sending an e-mail to this lady with your opinion of whether my theory is a good one, could you write her ASAP? Here is her info:

Stephanie S. Dillard, M.Ed., RPR, CRI
dillard@gatewaycc.edu
Director of Realtime Court Reporting
GateWay Community College
108 N. 40th Street
Phoenix, AZ 85034

Anything you do would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Does Mark's theory have an nish side the- ?

For phrases with the final side -to, is it just a question of including an O in the outline with the -T ? Is the * used too for this?

Comment by Clay Frazier on June 4, 2009 at 11:49

the = -T
only= ONL
consequently,
the only thing GONLT
the only time MONLT
the only way WONLT
etc etc
I did it like that because I write "the" -T and so I simply worked backwards.
However, Mark's way is easier and cleaner.
TW represents "the only"
the only thing that makes it hard is that I write "the" pretty quick because usually it ends in a phrase, not begins. (of the, in the, had the)
therefore, if it's not a phrase ending in "the" I write it pretty quick having ruled it out as a phrase.
so this will likely be happening
-T
*
TW-
or writing it out....

Clay,

You say "Mark's way is better. I think I will switch."

What exactly are you referring to, and what makes Mark's way better?

Comment by Clay Frazier on June 4, 2009 at 10:43

Mark's way is better.
I think I will switch.

I had the funniest thing happen today. I am trying to upload the pic:)

Oh, and, Brenda, I just used KH*UN yesterday for "which you know." I remember it because it didn't tran.

It will today. :)

So without the asterisk, "which one." That is really nice.

Well, I'm liking the idea of "the only" phrases, too.

Guess somebody's been holding out on me. Probably thought it was over my head since I'm still working on "for a." :)

Mark's TW- would work great for me. I do use TW- for my 2000 years, but they always have vowels in them.

I still need to get the right-side "thing" and "way," too. Can't believe I haven't started on those yet either.

Guess I will never be able to retire. Too many things I still don't know!! :)

Brenda, Clay will be home on Friday -- tomorrow -- so I'll ask him then if he doesn't chime in here.
