PH-FP is my machine. How do y'all write that?

Is it that SKP 489 could be written in one stroke?
Comment by Brenda Rogers on May 26, 2009 at 21:54
Mark, PHOFP for many of which, maybe?

The license plate. I get SKP, but 489 has me stumped.

Christine, is iFlash available for PC? I only found it for Macintosh.
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 26, 2009 at 21:20
I really like Brenda's quote ideas.

Here are how I do some of them:

." *FPLT
close quote *RBGS
comma close quote *RBGSZ
?" STPH*

PH-FP is my "many of which." Not a super-valuable stroke; something else could be found.

Little quiz for you guys:

The other day I saw a license plate in Texas: SKP 489

What is interesting about that plate number?
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 26, 2009 at 21:17
Christine, thanks for the comment about the P-P. Though my percentage is pretty high, it still feels a bit weird. I feel somewhat slowed down when it gets fast and I somehow have to slip a "fast comma" in or a "fast period." I'm finding it hard to "stay on the speaker." But I have to be happy with what I guess is fast progress, and I am amazed at how mentally "painful" or uncomfortable it was trying to do this - relearn comma and period. I don't know if the comma is THE most common stroke in stenodom, but if it's not it's close to it!

THE REASON I DID IT IS TO ERADICATE THE T-RBGS and TP-RBGS and other similar stacks I was getting with the comma, as well as sometimes the period. And for that, it's really working. Those have completely disappeared.

Hey there everyone!
Christine, I love that flash card idea, however, when I went to that website, it said page not found. Is that bc I don't have a Mac or Apple, ya think?

" SCORE! "I wanted to say that a few weeks ago when I was hitting "supposed to be" over and over when the inmate used it over and over, LOL! I wanted to yell, "I'm with you, BUB! "
Comment by Brenda Rogers on May 26, 2009 at 17:17
Well, PH-RBGS seems the most obvious for comma-open quote. Not sure if the vowels can be added without conflict. This may be a conflict for some spelling theories too.

PH-FPZ possibly. You all think about it while I run over to my folks' to feed the cats. :)
Comment by Brenda Rogers on May 26, 2009 at 17:14
Oh, that's a good one, LeAnne. I have another way of addressing that with my said phrases, which doesn't follow Mark's theory (but he got a chuckle out of why I use this method):

EUBS=I said
EUBSZ=I said, "{cap next}

But you're right, we need a stroke to cap after a comma when that "said" phrasing doesn't work. Let me give it some thought!
