Well, since I don't have smart software, I use a whole lot of those. :)

If I can't fit the entire -FPLT and -RBGS, I use what's left.

However, HO*UFRBGS
Moreover, MO*EFRBGS
Your Honor, URNGS
, Your Honor, SKWRURNGS

I use the S- and -S (or -Z), too, for surrounding commas often:

, for example, SFEGZ
For example, FEGZ


I still use -FPLT for acronyms a whole lot:

FBI FBI-FPLT
DNA DNA-FPLT

I got WERBGS from you, Tami, after I got stuck on what to do with "well." (I was still stuck on the idea of using all the letters of an outline.) Others I'd come up with since, really, they're sitting RIGHT THERE, being ignored for so long. I define them with commas on either side, and the software takes care of removing them when necessary.

I love technology!

I do, Jill. The -FPLT, too.

I actually think Brenda might have gotten those from me a loooong time ago. Brenda?

So, MARK, I tell ya it takes me a fat year and you double your progress in a day. I take back everything I said about you making us feel normal. HA!


ALEXIS,

As far as Mr. Rogers, one of my four sons -- I can't tell you who for fear he'd never speak to me again -- LOVED Mr. Rogers. We still kid him about it. :)

Mark, that is amazing. Do you still use your RBGS in conjunction with strokes like WERBGS, SORBGS, OERBGS, and so on? Or did you ever?

Mark,
You don't have to worry about Oakley slowing things down. It is still plenty fast At least it is for me.
And great job on your P-P W-B transition. Wow!

Impressive!

I am happy to announce, on my third day of trying to switch, that today on my job I wrote P-P 73% of the time for periods, and W-B 71% of the time for commas!

To speed up, slow down the Magnum Steno Club videos, you can try for free (and ultimately purchase if you wish) a product called MySpeed at www.enounce.com. I will say we are WORKING on getting speed up/slow down on our site, but I don't know IF or WHEN we will succeed at that.

I'll sprinkle Oakley in more often!! "Back by popular demand, Oakley!!" I was worried Oakley's contribution slowed us down too much!

Oakley is a great reader and is as cute as a button! It definitely would be nice if he could continue to read some more with you. Pleeeeeze...

Thanks Oakley.
