Also, as I read Tami's posts, I see she's a faithful disciple of mine!! LOL She's learned very well! She's absolutely right about "no stroke too hard" - the key is, since a hard stroke is often a stroke for what USED TO BE 3 words, you now have more TIME to write the difficult stroke.

Also, let me say that Clay has taken my theory and run with it - he's invented new, very clever things, and changed some things that he preferred to write other ways. This is a good thing - so I really respect Clay's opinions on briefs.

One if his cool ideas is *RBG for ~your. I'm working on learning that. The idea is, the -RBG is a "mirror" of the Y- in the left hand. Hence, Y for "your." The asterisk avoids conflicts.

Gary,

I like your idea for -FBT. No, I do not use it for anything, but I'm going to think of SOMETHING to use it for!!! I need a ~when on the right side, so maybe that. Not sure.

About your other questions, I write:

OPBT onto
O*PBT on it

I see now that Clay and Christine and Tami have answered for me - CORRECTLY (KREL) I might add - so I need not go further.

the -FBT is actually a MISSTROKE of was not; "was not" correctly stroked, for me is -FPBT. So I think -FBT can be used as the right stroke for something else.

Let me know if I missed something! :)

"If I made SKPEUF to be and of
and SKP*EUF to be and if
and SKP*EUFB to be and have
and SKPEUFB to and have been
would it work? "
Gary,
Why are you putting EUs in these? you are going to ruin adding "I" to it.
and have SKP*F or it looks like SKP*FB in your case, but then you're going to ruin "and have been" unless you think of another way to do that..
anyways back on topic.
and have SKP*F
and I have SKPEU*F
maybe you just meant to say that. Otherwise, there's no reason to put the EUs in "and have," etc.

on the OT
on it OIT
onto ONT
on to O*NT
was not FNT

again, why make "and of" "SKPEUF?"
SKP-F

I know you asked Mark -- hopefully he has time to answer -- but my feeling is there is no stroke too difficult -- if you have the right amount of fingers, that is.

My hands have slowed down so much by writing short that I have more time to get them into tricky strokes, and I've found the more I write things that I once thought were tricky, they become just like a regular 'ol stroke for me.

Gary,
I know you were addressing Mark regarding these outlines, but I thought I'd post these in the meantime. I know Mark writes the the following for these outlines:

SKPEUF = and if
SKP*EUF = and I have
SKP*EUFB = and I have been
OPBT = onto
O*PBT = on it
T*OT = tot
FBT = was not

Hope this helps :)

Mark,

Does Magnum Theory use -FBT for anything?

Would -FBT be considered to difficult a stroke for use in words or phrases, especially at high speeds?

Comment by Gary Wolpow on May 6, 2009 at 21:13

If tot is to the, then how is the word tot written?

If on the is ot, is on it o*t?

Mark,

Thanks for the list, and for taking the time to put it together. I second Christine's thoughts.

And I wholeheartedly agree with you on the use of small-word phrases.

A few quick questions:

Is ont used for anything? If not, could it be used for on the (and of course, o*nt would be on it)?

and if SKPEUF
If I made SKPEUF to be and of
and SKP*EUF to be and if
and SKP*EUFB to be and have
and SKPEUFB to and have been
would it work?

Thanks for the list, Mark. And thanks for taking the time to put the list together. We appreciate it very much :)

Wow, Mark. That list is great! Many of them I know and use every day; others I never even thought of. I'm going to pick a few at a time and work on them.

Thanks again.
