Stenspiration™

“I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.” -Carol Burnett

I think this quote sums up the skill of stenography beautifully.

Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Rules Of Grammar: A vs. An When Dealing With Acronyms

The rule for preceding an acronym with “a” or “an” is similar to the rule for preceding a word with “a” or “an.”

If the first letter for an acronym makes a vowel sound, you would precede the acronym with “an.” Consonants that create a vowel sound include: f, h, l, m, n, r. s, and x.

It should also be noted that if a vowel letter that begins an acronym has a consonant sound, you should precede it with “a.” For example, “a U-turn.”
