It’s really nice not to have to spend half of my practice time playing with the Report-It. In all of the terrible positions I had it in, I couldn’t even write for 4 minutes without feeling horribly fatigued, and now at least from a fatigue standpoint, I’m completely back to normal. I haven’t gotten used to the position yet, but I’m working on it.
Today I measured the speed of my piece when I write it for control, at the end of my practice session. I’m almost completely comfortable writing it at that speed, and I don’t think I would want to go much faster. It turns out that it’s only 180 wpm. That seems awfully disappointing. I was also able to figure out how many words were in the 4 minutes that I write at the normal speed. I know it starts out at 230 and finishes at 215. According to RTC, it’s supposed to be 220, and actually, if you average all 4 minutes, it is 222.
The other day I had time for some dictionary maintenance, so I finished fixing every thing I wanted to in terms of integrated endings. I deleted 333 LG words, 122 NG words, and 46 RG words. I also fixed anything where I had BG as in ribbing, because that conflicts with things like Rick, and anything were I had RBG, for things like crashing, because that conflicts with things like cracker. Remembering not to write all of those is going to be a different story.
I deleted some entries with the long A sound and D, like swayed, which interferes with suede. Carol says you shouldn’t attach D to any vowel sounds, but I think I’ve accounted for any problems aside from the long A. I also finally added my attaching alphabet, that attaches lowercase letters to the last word.
