News, updates, and more
The Orthic Dictionary now sports a search form. Type in some letters, hit Search, and the dictionary entries will be filtered down to just the matching entries: those that contain the precise text you searched for. You can search either in the “plaintext” (the English word defined in the entry), or in the Orthic notation given under the entry. If you search Orthic notation, only the examples with notations (and the parent entry, of course) will show up.
Check out our new Reading Material page! It’s now easier than ever to practice your reading by enjoying some of Aesop’s fables written in the abbreviated style by Callendar or “The Cask of Amontillado” written in the full style by Jeremy. (You’ll also find the page in the Resources list in the menu at the top of every page.)
Check out our new dictionary! It features a notation to represent even abbreviated Orthic in ASCII, so you can search for an outline in order to get the longhand English text.
Helping fellow writers master Orthic’s shortcuts just got easier: The Manual now sports links for each brief, ending, and joining. The Supplement too now has links to each brief. (It already had links for its endings and beginnings, since they made it to the table of contents.)
