I’m practicing and figured I would try a brief that’s a little unorthodox.

I type “I’m sure,” AOIMZ; so, I want to add the final -T to crate a brief for “I’m not sure.” This is a brief that sticks for me. However, I’m not sure if sliding my finger over to include the final -T will work long term for me. I did get use to doing the final -TD combination though, so maybe it will work out.

Both strokes are so contrary to the theory I learned. However, there’s nothing like customizing your personal dictionary! I hope it works out.

Learning and growing in steno!
