Do you have fries with that?

Would U like fries with that?
OMG, this is too weird! Last night I went thru the drive-thru at Arbys, gave my order, the person asked if I wanted a drink, I said what do U have and she named all these brands (one of which I didn't think they had in my area so I excitedly said Wow I didn't think that was available - I'll have that!), got to the pick-up window and the girl said they didn't actually have that particular drink. I told her I was just told they did and she said "Oh, well, the order taker is doing that job remotely from India, I think." So its come to this...
About those fries....

How do you make your fries?

Great analogy to you want fries with that
Often I "find" things in IT that I did not realize I had in there by just glancing when I am typing something that I feel should have an expansion.
The marker keys are a challenge to get used to, I couldn't use spacebar because I was using DQS when I got IT, so I also have my old Autocorrect still active and that works on the spacebar. I use semi and backslash for my markers - I think. The muscle memory is so old that I truly can't remember, it just happens.
I agree with the poster who said to work on one thing at a time and once you notice that it has become easy to do without any thought then move onto something else. I started with working on the phrase side because it is the biggest bang for your buck - more characters with fewer keystrokes.
I think the key to being successful with IT after the learning curve is finding a rhythm and just keep filling it up with expansions that make sense to you so you don't have to search for them. I often use the first two words of a long phrase as the short form because it will show up if I start typing it and I can just marker the rest of it in.
I wish you good luck figuring it out and would encourage you to stick with it and find your own tricks to it, as I think it really makes a difference in the fatigue factor, which is more important some days than line count.
I think someone mentioned Productivity Talk and the IT website, which both have lots of tips and tricks too.

I think French just might be
my least favorite accent. Despite my French teacher bragging about what excellent speakers the French are, never saying um, just having fast flowing speech, when dictating in English, the ones I've done have had some serious stammering, poor enunciation, extra words, and many unexplained word choice changes, and it's all I can do not to scream and grind my teeth the moment I hear that accent.
I'd love to tell my snotty French teacher that, too.
French!

French for me too.

You must be French or something because it is
(singular)
▸ noun: the form of a word that is used to denote a singleton
▸ adjective: grammatical number category referring to a single item or unit
(plural)
▸ noun: the form of a word that is used to denote more than one
▸ adjective: grammatical number category referring to two or more items or units
pleural is a medical term, regarding the lungs....
French Ed. major
with English Ed minor and Music minor. No jobs around here in Northern Indiana, and extended family is here, so once started having kids, kind of just fell into this work. Love it, though, love using the Latin I had years ago.
Don't get it......what does French sounding name
nm
also had a French Canadian
very difficult... now if I ever hear a doctor with a New Zealand accent I think I will recognize it - very distinctive - have heard it only in a few movies.
Canadian Dollars- probably French ESL nm

"Faux" is French for false. - nm

The French sounding name in other words
it was not like I was a Jones or Smith, you know, simple sounding every day names and if you have worked as long as I have in this business, I have seen dictators get a chart mixed up with another, not that it happens often. That was the reason for my saying it - he could not have mistaken my dictation for a Ms. Smith or Ms. Jones....
French 1st Language dictators
My take is that you are both correct and mistaken. People with French as their mother tongue can be both challenging and reliable to transcribe in English. The challenging part is the omission of certain sounds that are normal to the English-attuned ear. The reliable part is that the differences one hears are usually SO predictable. I belive that with more info I can help you even with your specific problem.
I think Spanish and French are the worst, (sm)
and I even took French. But they have an annoying way of dropping out all recordable sound and just doing something with their lips that a recorder can't pick up at the end of some words that is very annoying.
I have enjoyed British, but every newbie should be warned about their "stop" and "full stop" for punctuation, LOL.
Autocorrect turned french!
Out of no where my autocorrect is french! Anyone know how to turn this off??
maybe she means 'pissoir', it's French, look it up!...nm

Spanish, French do celebrate Christmas in USA
Middle Eastern Arabic people do not celebrate Christmas nor the Jewish people (and Chanukah comes early 12/3 this year so they should be working. Russian Christmas is in January. The Hispanic community as well as the French communities here in the USA, as I know it, certainly do celebrate Christmas. Happy Holidays To All....

I thought the French, Germans, and Russians were hairy.
Would that make them hirsutian?

Hot French bread with real butter, rasberries
