This seems to be working pretty well for me: I'm using the letter "J" to sort of split a word (it's pretty easy for my mind to remember this as I used to use the / mark in between words in autocorrect before switching to Instant text).

I had so many words memorized using the / in autocorrect, I kinda hated to give it up, so I substituted the slash mark for a "J". I thought this might help someone coming from a similar situation: Here's a few I'm using now:



ajl =anterolateral
ajm = anteromedial
sjl = superolateral
pja = posteroanterior
pjl = posterolateral
aja = atlantoaxial
fje = flexion/extension
ijl = inferolateral


I also use some other ones, that are not directions such as:
brj = brachioradialis
cjc = coracoclavicular
cjt = cervicothoracic


And a few others I also couldn't give up are:

tjo = throughout
ujl = ureterolithiasis
njl = nephrolithiasis

Anyone else using a letter or number to sort of "split" a word/words in half?

I think this is just magnificent. Love it! Thank you for sharing with us, Minnie!

I agree with Harrie -- it's an extremely clever device! It's also a great demonstration that in the world of expanders there are many different ways to set up shorts and to find the ones that fit one's fingers. I like the j there because it keeps you safely on the home row, very convenient, and I think I am going to go change all my shorts for suture sizes right this minute, so thank you very much!

I LOVE that idea, Minnie, absolutely LOVE it. What a superduperwonderful idea. In a million years, I never would have thought of doing something like that. Thanks for sharing.

I love that idea too, and I've been using it to make new shortcuts.
