I was way behind others. More go in every day.
Regarding what YouAsked said, I agree about shifting dependence from templates and normals from individual dictators to expansions for practically every individual phrase they produce. This works not only with many dictators but also helps tremendously with the shift to editing.
I don't know how many variations I have of Thank you for allowing/asking/requesting, etc., etc., etc., to close a report, but it's dozens, with every new version that comes down the pike promptly stuffed into the expander. I may never get them all, but I'm trying.
Since I mostly edit, I also enter every possible subphrase within those phrases, so I can drop them into existing text as corrections. (to participate in, for allowing me to, participate in the, etc.)
BTW, in order to do this and give every dictator just what he said and wants to see, I use the first letter of every single word, with another letter from a key word to differentiate it from other phrases, the key word and letter being whatever I intuitively feel they should be, i.e., what pop into my mind. Past tense is a D added to the first letter of the verb. |
