30. Um, I'm clueless. Is this Morse code? I know it's not Braille, because I
work with the blind and Braille works with RAISED dots -- no dashes -- I feel STOOPID, so let me know.

36. Yup...it's Morse.
Here's the translator:

38. The only thing I remembered about it is: ...---...
Who uses it now? I know that Western Union still exists, but the telegraph? Isn't it gone like corsets for women, buggy whips for carriages, typewriters for letters, etc.?

Are the mods skilled in Morse code? If not, maybe we can (heh-heh-heh...) turn this into a sex thread and nobody will notice.)

By the way, what ever happened to Evelyn Woods "Speed Reading" and "Reading Dynamics"...? "Speed Writing" "Gregg Shorthand" -- all gone with the wind?

46. Even the Navy has scrapped Morse...
...although I expect there are still quite a few old salts out there who won't let it die.

Speed Reading? Who reads anymore? Just kidding.

Reading Dynamics? Don't know that one...I knew about "Controlled Reading" and the SRA Reading Laboratories (that last one is online now.)

Shorthand? That went out with the advent of word processing and digital recorders. (Yes, I took Gregg Shorthand for two years...was damned good at it...never used it past first year of college.)

51. My mother used Gregg shorthand, and I tried to learn it in school.
But I fell in love that semester, didn't practice it, and ended up dropping the college course.

However, I still do about 85 wpm or so typing (got a "B" in that course) -- do they still call it "typing"? The word "keyboarding" just doesn't work for me.

The swift brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

And for music class:

"Every Good Boy Does Fine"

Do you know what that means?

64. For the musically uninitiated -- and possibly the totally disinterested...
We're referring to a "memory device" to explain the musical notes that represent the lines on the treble clef and bass clef scales -- I'm not really sure how to describe this -- besides, it runs vertically reversed. Wasn't too good on the piano and even worse in this explanation... Oh, well... that's why they pay composer John Williams the big bucks!
