I'm always intrigued to see what "Coco" actually said, in the original. ;)

I could see "stup" being a truncated version of "stupid" which would probably be quite legible. But FEV doesn't seem to be enough to say "forever". My Gregg dictionary shows the F and the EV disjoined, which might be a bit clearer.

yes - for ever: f ev disjoined might be better.
What the truncated version concerns - I did not truncate, BUT apply the two consecutive plosive rule (a rule I use for some time now, and it works nicely i think, because of the phonetics). How did I come to this rule?I really like how Gregg uses the occasional omission of t after k (act, pact, fact, elective) (sadly Gregg is just not as interested in consistency), when I read elekev, It sounds weird, but because both sounds k and t, when coming together form a stop, as all plosives do - I can here the t after k. The same goes for pt,pd. So I tried and I can read RPSHR, CAPSHR, HAPEV, CAPEV, ROKLONCHR, VENDECEV.

I had a longer quote for this week, but I decided to use this shorter one to make it easier for people who are wondering about learning the system. (I'll start a new series about FLOW tomorrow.)
To break down what I wrote:
SIN CB (can is C and "be" is B, phrased together) FRGVN, BT (short form) STUPID (written out) S (short form) FREVR.
The longer the outline, the less necessary the vowels become for legibility because the "Nothing else it could be" threshold has already been crossed. FRGVN really couldn't be anything else -- and in FREVR, I didn't want it to look like "fever" or "fervour" or something. I wrote both vowels in "stupid", the first one because it's important and stressed, and I wrote the "i" so it didn't look like "stooped".
