Mark, Super fast today, what a challenge :). I like the redone home page with the box closer to the top like that. Makes it even faster to log in.
No ideas here for final "when" -- I'm still trying to wrap my brain and fingers around SKP for and~; it's not coming naturally for me.

Mark, I use -RPBLG for "there" on the right (I hadn't found your book yet). Would that work?
Comment by Jill S. Driscoll on May 22, 2009 at 8:37
what about FPB maybe? Kind of feels like "when"
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 22, 2009 at 8:20
Clay, Tami, (and anyone else) I need a right-hand "when". -FB is "what" in the right hand for me and I don't what to change that. Any ideas?
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 22, 2009 at 8:02
How do you guys like the log-in box near the top of the home page now???
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 22, 2009 at 6:05
You really think creatively, Tami! That's great!
Comment by Tami on May 21, 2009 at 17:00
Okay. I guess you're back to being a little normal. :)

Oh, and I started using a combo of P-P and W-B for my colon. I really like that.

Also, when I want to colon/paragraph, I hit that stroke and drop my fingers down on the vowel keys. I learned it instantly. One of those things that just made sense, as the vowels are on the next "line" down??

Tami,

The improvement and goal toward 100% I think will be awhile:

yesterday 73% and 71% on period and comma;

today 75% and 74% on period and comma.

So WE'LL SEE if/when/whether I improve to near 100%.
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 21, 2009 at 12:38
Jill, I use -RBGS for OERBGS, and S-FPLT for ;

I tend to use * or *D to put commas around both sides of something:

W*L , well
TPRA*ELD , frankly,
TAO*ULD , actually,
SKWRO*PBD , John,
SEU*RD , sir,
Comment by Brenda Rogers on May 20, 2009 at 14:03
I use the Z too.
UPBZ for , you know,
EUPL for , I mean,
HOUFRZ for however
etc.

I use * for acronyms - and mixed-up letters when necessary:
F*EUB - FBI
DA*N - DNA

But I also learned finger spelling with asterisk not FPLT, so this just fell into place.

I have FRAFRPL defined with commas because I really can't think of a time when there aren't commas around "for example."
