A question on standardization and consistency to official outlines
It has been a bit but I’ve been working on my shorthand again. For reference, I completed the original anniversary manual a few years ago and enough has stuck with me that I can roughly keep up with many of the 60 wpm dictations on youtube although I find that I do sometimes have hesitation…
Trick-or-treating
Here is the first section of the Wikipedia entry for Trick-or-treating, transcribed in Anniversary. I was consciously trying to fit everything on one page, so the outlines are sometimes a bit close together. Enjoy! Attachment: trick-or-treating.pdf

Absolutely
Hello, I’d like to know which S is used to write absolutely in Anniversary. I came across absolument in French DJS and was surprised to find out that the S was just marked by making the end of the O-shape slightly lower than its beginning, as in “juste” but upside-down. Soleil is written with right…
