I write it GRAG just in case anyone is interested in my weird brain.

GRAGDZ for aggravating
GRAGD

Had to make a brief for "aggravate" today. You guys probably already have one: A*FT aggravate, then just add all the endings. A*FGS aggravation

Tami, thanks for the slow-hands story!! Very welcome!! It's sad how so many reporters have to STRUGGLE every day on their jobs :(

Thank you, LeAnne and Jenny, for the quick tips for getting here!
Comment by Mark Kislingbury on May 18, 2009 at 8:51
Tami, I write identity AOEUFT, identify AOEUF, identifies AOEUFZ, identified AOEUFD, identifying AOEUFD

for the sake of "saw" you might want to change your identify? Or just remember to write "I saw" differently

Mark, did you know if you click on "follow" at the end of this discussion (if you haven't already) that you will get e-mail alerts when someone posts to this group? When you get an e-mail, the link will take you right to this discussion. You have to "follow" each discussion topic you're interested in. Be warned though, some days your inbox can get pretty full.

Tami, I have no clue why I started typing 6 with both hands. Might have had something to do with having to type out city budget reports a zillion years ago. I got pretty darn fast with numbers on the typewriter.

After reading your writing short story, I have to go practice my speed tapes now. Gives me incentive to keep at it.

TAMI - identifies - OIFS (or Z). I learned the identify family with OI. That would solve that if you can make the switch.

OIF - identify
OIFZ - identifies
OIFD - identified
OIFBGS - identification
OIT - identity

Oh, and, MIKE, here's my slow-hand story for the week.

I have to read back to a jury. Another Official was nice enough to cover my courtroom for the day. So I have to go into my courtroom to receive another request for readback, and I get to witness this reporter write.

She's a really great reporter, provided RT to my judge, but I was so amazed how physical her job was. If I had her job, I would no longer be able to work.

Oh, I guess I do have her job, but mine is so easy compared to hers. She looked completely frantic to me, her hands were FLYING on the keyboard, and I was totally in awe. If she learned to write short, I'm pretty sure she could bust out a 300 blindfolded. :)

The only way I'm still plugging away every day is because I'm writing so short. No doubt it has given me a couple extra years -- maybe another decade -- and I am so extremely grateful for that.

Thank you, MARK!
