Because altitude is great… but speed is greater.
If you’re using one stroke for these “-tude” words, you are officially working smarter, not harder. These are beautiful examples of pattern recognition + theory trust = SPEED.
Let’s group them so your brain sees the magic.
✈️ Big Measurement Words
- Altitude – ALTD
- Amplitude – AFRPLTD
- Magnitude – PHAGTD
- Latitude – HRATD
- Longitude – HROPBGTD
🧠 Why this is great:
These are academic, technical, expert-witness kind of words. And you’re writing
them in ONE stroke. That’s elite efficiency.
💪 Strength & Character Words
- Gratitude – TKPWRATD
- Fortitude – TPORTD
- Certitude – SERTD
- Solitude – SOLTD
- Servitude – SEFRBTD
- Turpitude – TURPTD
🧠 Notice the pattern?
You’re keeping the base word sound clear and letting -TD cleanly
represent -tude. That consistency is what builds speed confidence.
🎓 Vocabulary Power Words
- Attitude – ATD
- Aptitude – APTD
- Ineptitude – TPHEPTD
- Platitude – PHRATD
- Plenitude – PHREPBTD
- Multitude – PHULTD
🔥 Why These Matter for Speed Building
There is only so much speed in your fingers.
But there is infinite speed in good briefing.
Every time you:
- Write one clean stroke
- Avoid stacking two strokes
- Trust your theory
…you reduce hesitation.
And hesitation is the real enemy of realtime.
🏁 Mini Drill (Say it out loud. Write it once.)
“Her attitude of gratitude showed fortitude despite the magnitude of the altitude.”
If you can write that smoothly, you are building serious control.
🎤 Final Thought for Students
When you master families like -tude, you stop writing letters.
You start writing language.
And that’s when steno becomes powerful. 💫
