While practicing this video, I used “THE COURT” designation for the voice of the narrator.
Here are some briefs for some of the words and phrases spoken in the video:
do you know= DAOUN
excuse me= SKAOUM
library= LAOIB
polite= PLOIT
along= LAONG
capitol= KPOL
(as opposed to capital=KPAL)
practice= PRA
let’s= LETS
let me= LEM
beach= BAOEFP
movie= MO*EF
anything else= NILGS
This video is great for practicing speaker designations, especially if you’ve recently advanced from theory. It’s a good video to get you comfortable using Q & A symbols. A third party even interjects a couple of times.
Here are some briefs for some of the words that come up in the video:
graduate= GRAUT
river= RIFR
study= STOI
o’clock= KLK
jump= JUFRP
fiction= F*IBGS
tragedy= TRAJD
adventure= DWUR
comedy= KMAOED
romance= ROE/MANS
Upon first glance, the word “schlock,” is reminiscent of the word, “shylock.” However, the pronunciation is different. Schlock is defined as: “Of low quality or value.”
Based on its pronunciation, the best way to write “schlock” on the steno machine is:
SHROBG
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines histology as: “A branch of anatomy that deals with the minute structure of animal and plant tissues as discernible with the microscope”; or, “tissue structure or organization.”
I used this as my warm-up practice today. This is light-medical testimony.
This testimony practice contains the terms: chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and Indocin.
Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is defined as follows on Wikipedia: “Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH), also known as Sjaastad syndrome, is a severe debilitating unilateral headache, usually affecting the area around the eye. Unlike migraine it has NO neurological symptoms associated with it. It normally consists of multiple severe yet short headache attacks. These attacks normally will only affect one side of the cranium, hence the term hemicrania. It is more common in females than males. CPH headaches are treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in particular indomethacin, which is usually totally effective in eliminating the symptoms.”
