Special characters -
For the words that are frequently used there are sets of simplified forms that are commonly used to save time in writing, below is a list of the basic common forms;


- 'b' = be, been


 - 'd' = do, day 

- 'f' = from 



- 'g' = go 


- 'h' = he  


- 'k' = kind 


- 'l' = letter  

- 'm' = me  


- 'rp' = representative 

 - 'mm' = member  


- 'dfcl' = difficult  

-'sv' = several


 - 'pm' = permanent  


-'df' = differ

 - 'dft' = different


Aside from the basics of single character special outlines, there are short combinations that are used to mean short or frequently used words. Others can be made once you are confident enough with your writing and reading skill to remember them, whilst also being knowledgeable to write them correctly and without confusing them for another word.

- and


  - page/peace 

- question/equal 



- are  

-south 

- shall


 - to


 - the

- very


- we

- accident

- your/you


'Today' is the combined characters 't' and 'd' which are the special outlines for 'to' and 'day' literally. whilst the 'd' for 'day' can also be used as a word ending as in 'holiday'.

Also by writing a word in a particular position it removes the need for a certain character, such as 'sometimes', here it has no 't' written into due to the fact that it is written in the 't' position. Although just because something is written in a particular position it is not always the character that owns the position is missing, such as in;
'which', and

'such' where they are written in the 't' position however it is the 'h' from 'ch'.


Another positioning example would be 'because' as it is written below the line to indicate that there is a character missing, one which precedes it to be exact, in this case the 'b'.

The special outline for 'that' is written with the 't' crossing the 'h' line, this is due to the act of reducing the word to simplicity, as it allows for extra words to form phrases, like; 'that would', 'that is', etc.

The use of special outlines can be edited and personal ones can be created, so long as you are confident enough to remember and not confuse them with actual word rather than abbreviations, however by using the special outlines while they remove vast amounts of unnecessary writing, they are prone to human error where a single character can be written wrong and then the whole word will be wrong.
