to the person who searched for “what is tpaoubg in steno machine language”

Okay, hon. Well, hm. It’s nothing. I hate to tell you.

Let’s look at it:

TP = initial F sound, aka F at the beginning of a word

AOU = long U sound

BG = final K sound, aka K at the end of a word

So, basically, you have FUKE, I guess, if I were to translate that to an English spelling.

Let’s get to the bottom of what you’re looking for — because I can tell you’re a beginning student and this is very titillating for you.

I’m fairly certain you meant TPUBG.

Sound it out, dear searcher. Change the vowel sound there and I think you have it. Short U.

Be careful, though, because that’s also a brief for the phrase “if you can” and it can make for some HIGH-larious hijinx when you’re reading your notes aloud in class and you get those two things mixed up.

HIGH-larious.

Hint: Write one TPUBG and the other TP*UBG to differentiate. Make the one you will hear most often the easiest to stroke. You’ll definitely hear TPUBG a lot, but “if you can” is likely more frequent. Just a tip from the bottom of my heart, okay?

Godspeed, you nasty little thing.
