1. ABBREVIATION MASTER: QNUMBERS and FFRACTIONS
QNUMBERS (1 to 9,999) Qnumbers
are an efficient way to type numbers while rarely leaving the home keys.
All numbers are preceded by "q" and asdfghjklo = 1234567890. For example
2004 is qsoof. The numbers flow from left to right on the home keys. We
have seen no faster way to learn and type numbers with letters.

FFRACTIONS (1/2, 1/3, 5/8, 15/16,
etc.) Ffractions use a simple method to type fractions: All fractions begin
with "f": f14 = 1/4. Alternatively, you can use Qnumbers by replacing the
"q" with "f" to get fractions: fas= 1/2, fdf = 3/4.
2. ABBREVIATION MASTER: VITAL SIGNS
Shortcuts to type temperature, pulse and respirations using three different methods (the colon, the verb "is" or simply a space) are included in this file. A separate file does the same thing with Qnumbers.
VITALS (temperature, pulse, respirations).
QVITALS (uses Qnumbers to type
vital signs)
Here is a screen shot using the
colon format.
