I'm sorry. I'll give you a paraphrase translation:
"Just letting you know I had my piano exam today even though I don't want to talk about it just now so I'm fooling around with homophones in Matish. I was supposed to get a C but I gave a Z-like-perfomance or invented it (I did my best under the circumstances though). I still believe I got a C which will be a miracle and I may have a lot to say about it or I may be too numb. I shouldn't be. I can't even do justice trying to describe how God brought me through it all no matter what I got and how can I describe the incredible kindness that was shown to me by so many strangers all in the one day. If a single one of these 8 people in a row had not not only shown grace to me, but went out of their way to do more for me, I would with absolute certainty not have made it to the exam, it would have been a waste of money and I could not experience the resolution I now have which frees me to study for the other three exams I have in this next week. See?"
Ok, so it's a little amplified too.
I could read your post in Mattish. Weird. But I guess I can read my shorthand too, and that's worse.
Really? Which system do you use? Did you make it up or is it like Pitman's?
Did you know that Sir Isaac Pitman was a spelling reformer and that his grandson Sir James Pitman invented the Initial Teaching Alphabet and promoted the SSS in politics?
Mark Twain was also a spelling reformer, and so were Benjamin Franklin, Noah Webster (who wrote Webster's dictionary) and George Bernard Shaw who, in his will, left a portion of his wealth to fund the creation of a new English phonemic alphabet.
No, I didn't know those factoids.
But I use Teeline shorthand. I learnt it while I worked as a copygirl some years ago. Teeline is superior to Pitman, IMHO.
isn't the letter c always pronounced "ch"?? :P
btw, what level exam did you do??? i've never done a piano exam, but i'm about grade 8 (when i practise, which i never do!!)
"c" on its own (or seperated by apostrophes) is a letter-word, and sounds like the name of the letter itself. In this case, "se".
good point, must have missed reading that bit...
