Using Notescript (Lesson 10)

Review

If you’ve been following along and practicing notescript, you know we have covered quite a bit of territory including abbreviations for the 100 most common words in written English, a simplified alphabet for notescript, and rules of letter elimination. Notescript as originally published has several more rules of letter elimination, but I haven’t found them useful enough to memorize. The ones we covered give the most benefit for the work involved in learning them. In addition, as I said, if you have any doubt that you will remember a word when written by the rules, leave in any letters you need to ensure you recognize the word at a later date. This is especially important when you are writing a quote from some work. Sometimes these contain mispellings, and words can be used in unfamiliar contexts. In such cases it is to your benefit to write out an entire word.

Symbols

Below are some of the symbols you have learned already, as well as some new symbols

Numbers

Generally, replace the word for a number with the number itself. If the written number is a plural or possessive, follow the numberal by s or ’s.

Days of the Week

These are the notescript abbreviations for the days of the week, along with special symbols for them you can use instead if you prefer.

Days of the Month

These are the notescript for the months of the year.

Exercises

There are no formal lessons. I would recommend using notescript in all of your personal writing of whatever nature. If you need something formal with which to practice, use short newspaper articles, stories, or blog articles that appeal to you on the net.
