Practice Typing Correction Signs

Practice typing correction signs is here to help you with those shortened words found in your documents such as the typing of business letters, memos, etc.

There are times when your employer may quickly draft out these documents and inserts those hurried shortened words like for example dtd, mar ds tk fr let or yrs.

If it is urgent or he is in a hurry to go somewhere or do other things in his office he may be waiting on you to create that document quickly so he can sign it if he is on his way out of the office.

He expects you to create his document as quickly as possible and add the meaning of his shortened formed words to that document now. He expects you to complete all his correction signs for his document as you type them quickly.

What would you do? Do you already have an idea what those shortened words stands for? If you don't you will now have to take some time to figure them out quickly. Here is what you can do.

Take some time and try to figure out what it stands for by reading the draft document. Sometimes it becomes easy as you read back the sentence a few times. You may quickly pick up the meaning of the correction sign but other times you may try hard but fail to recognize the meaning.

You then wish if only you can just figure out the word to quickly move on and get the work over and done with.

Learn these correction signs in your spare time so that it will be easy to translate them as you type. It used to happen to me many times when I first started typing at my new job. I know what the feeling is like. To overcome such tension I have decided to draw up a list of them for you to go through in your spare time.

Below are some of these shortened words and its meaning. Some of them you may already know but others might be new to you. Quickly go them over and get to know those you may have seen for the first time.
