I hear those in depositions all the time. "As you sit here today, how are you feeling?" "What is your memory of blah-blah-blah as we sit here today?" etc.

[Nicolete]

Those are great! Would you hear those mostly in the courtroom for jury charge or during testimony?

[Brenda Rogers]

as you sit here - SURT
as you sit here today - SURD
as we sit here - SWERT
as we sit here today - SWERD

I'm so happy that I've created severe (SWAER) and severity (SWAERT). Those were just too much work! LOL. Seismograph is SMOF, seismologists is SMOLTS or SMOLT/-Z. Vertical is VERL, and horizontal is HOERNL. Gotta love it!.

[Nicolete]

Those are great briefs, I will definitely consider those.

I learned magnitude (MAOUGD) and amplitude (FAMPT) today, among others.

The alternative is exactly our plan, Kelli. We own a home now, but we plan to move near water and have our house built at a GREAT price, because my soon-to-be husband is in the business. We also plan to buy a boat, because we DO love to travel so much. Owning time shares is wonderful, too, because all we do is pick up the phone and choose where we want to go, and they do the rest.
