16. The letter 'S' can either be written clockwise or anti - clockwise. They go inside curves and outside angles. When two straight letters meet, join them together by putting the 's' outside the angle where it can be seen clearly.

17. Words can be made plural by adding an 's'

18. Words containing - 'S' and 'Z' - in most words containing 'Z' , it doesn't really matter whether you write 'S' or 'Z'. However, when a 'Z' starts the word, use a 'Z'.

19. Distinguishing outlines - when two or more words have the same outline, each word must be given a distinguishing outline to avoid any possible confusion (see page 17).

20. In word groupings, the first word of such a grouping is in its normal position and the rest of the outline follows. Letters may be left out or added, to make reading/ writing easier.

21. Words containing 'T' and 'D' - 'T' are always written above the line in the 'T' when on its own, beginning a word or when preceded by an 'S' or a vowel. Likewise, in these instances, 'D' is written on the line. When, however, followed by a 'P' or 'G', write 'T' a little lower, to give these their correct position through the line. To differentiate between some words ending in 'T' or 'D', the whole word may be written in the 'T' or 'D' position. 'T' and 'D' are never joined. They are shown together by writing one stroke below or above the other and slightly to the right.

22. Words ending in '-day' can be written with a 'D' ending.

23. 'B' followed by 'T' or 'D' - when joining 'T' to 'B;, write the 'T' at the top of the 'B' circle.

24. 'C', 'K', 'CT' and 'CD' - 'C' and 'K' are interchangeable except at the beginning of a word. 'C' can be written instead of 'K' to achieve a better outline. When 'T' OR 'D' follow 'C', join the two together by lengthening the 'C'.

25. 'K' followed by 'T' or 'D' -'T' and 'D' should be disjoined from 'K' to give a clearer outline.
