common dictation english shorthand practice

 


I have often sat and watched a web being constructed. The spider has a lot more patience than me, because I stop to watch him when he is halfway through and am likely to leave before he has finished. Mr Spider is a very methodical and tidy character. He does not zigzag randomly and create a mess. He goes in circles and spirals, and keeps going until the web is either the right size or he gets to the middle. People sometimes describe handwriting looking "as if a spider had crawled all over the page" but this is rather an insult to our industrious little friend. The only time spidery writing is an advantage is when the shorthand writer* is endeavouring to maintain a very light touch with the pen. The pressure should be as light as possible, with no more than the minimum extra pressure necessary to get the thick strokes. It is better to think of thin and thick strokes, or light and lighter ones, rather than light and heavy strokes.

There were *  other boxes of prints, which  had never been put into albums. They would have to be scanned as well, in order to be able to *  get everything in subject and date order. I also had some boxes of very old family photos inherited from relatives, ranging from small home produced efforts to large professional prints of special events. More careful high res scanning would be required for those. The job was indeed growing by the minute, as I rummaged about for every photo I could find in the house. A comprehensive scanning session was the priority, starting with the oldest ones, as nothing could be put into books until that had been done.   * "properly" Insert the first vowel, and the diphone in "appropriately" as they are similar in outline and meaning   * Omission phrase "there (w)ere"   * "in or...
