Chapter 8 - Stroke S and Z (Introduction - points explained clearly) (Pitman Shorthand Video - 76)

In this video we are explaining clearly the rules/words into which we have to use the stroke for the sound of S and Z.
The stroke S or Z must be written
1. When a vowel precedes initial s or follows final s or z.
2. When initial s is immediately followed by a vowel and another s or z.
3. When initial s is immediately followed by a triphone.
4. When the final syllable -ous is preceded by a diphthong.
5. When the word is a compound like sea-mew, saw-bench.
6. When the word is a derivative like unceasing, unassailed, where the stroke would be written in the root word.

The long vowels (thick dot and thick dash) can be remembered by repeating the sentence "Pa may we all go too?" i.e word pa giving sound ah, may - a, we - e, all - aw, go - o, too - oo.
The short vowels (light dot and light dash) can be remembered by repeating the sentence "That pen is not much good". i.e word that giving sound a, pen - e, is - i, not - o, much - u, good - oo.

Always practice Pitman Shorthand with pencil and make the thin strokes, light vowel signs LIGHT and thick strokes, dark vowel signs DARK.

Pitman Shorthand language increases the speed, fluency in writing. We write English words in shorthand with the help of signs, symbols, strokes and also long/frequently occurring words by a single sign. It saves the space and our precious time.
