Tami, you could use SWH for "so when" and avoid the who problem.

Actually I was thinking about "so that" yesterday and wondering if Mark has similar briefs for "so when," "so where," etc.

I was thinking yesterday most of those would be good outlines for me.

So when did you see

SWHOE*UZ

Guess you got to be careful with that and "so who."

Off to court . . .

Virginia, that's what I meant by there being a phrasing opportunity with when on the nish side. SO/WH-LGTS, for instance. I wouldn't try squeezing in three words there.

I was trying to think of a "when" opportunity too, but could only come up with "so when" or "and when." But the "when" would probably be followed by something to phrase it with anyway, right?

My local server has been acting up, so I'm quickly checking in, saying hi, and welcoming the new members.

We're up to 73 members!! WOO-HOO!!!

I don't have a right-side "when," Mark. Clay said he doesn't either and questioned the need for one. I'm sure there is if you're trying to figure out a stroke for it.

Is it that common??

I've been trying to think of the phrasing opportunities and keep coming up with zilch,

Oh, and thanks for the "creative" comment. I should have said I dropped my thumbs down on the vowels, not my fingers, but I know you got my drift.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Memorial Day!

Barb, I have his loaded behind mine but I didn't check Use in Translation. My understanding is that AB should draw from those dictionaries that you have loaded, whether or not you're using them in translation. I had to stop using Mark's in tran, frankly, because I don't hit the A symbol clearly enough with my extensions, and I was coming up with too many of his phrases.

(The latter stroke is what I call a "merge" stroke - i.e., every letter in the word is represented in the steno: M-a-f-i-a are all there.)

I love that concept.

Barb, that's funny!

Currently, PHAEUFD is "may find" in my dict., and PHAEUF is Mafia. (The latter stroke is what I call a "merge" stroke - i.e., every letter in the word is represented in the steno: M-a-f-i-a are all there.)

NOTE: It's OKAY to have my dictionary checked, but it needs to be in the position of your real dictionary, and your real dictionary needs to be in the position of the last job dictionary. In other words, YOUR dictionary needs to overrule MINE.

Virginia,

The speed is, "As fast as Mark can read, or almost!"

Speeds range from:

Q&A: 260-320
Literary: 210-250

Those are my estimates.

The idea is to have the speed be too fast and the Club Member struggle to get it.

I'm kind of developing an aphorism....

"If you're getting it, it isn't practicing!"

Barb, I literally LOL'd!
