L at the end of a word in G2?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

How do you deal with a letter "l" (ell) at the end of a word? When I do the
vertical line, I get the l, but then when I do the horizontal bar for the
space, it transforms the l into a t. Or am I supposed to make an "L"
movement when it ends a word?

A testimony to G2's usefulness efficiency and ease of use over G1. In
my 5 years with Palm I have never used the keyboard for letters or
numbers, and rarely for punctuation.

I gave it about a week before I needed to actually use the Palm.
Installed G1 and I've been happy ever since.

The biggest issue was trying to use shortcuts... Try a /I or a /T in G2
and let me know how it goes.

Gotta say this: Give 'em L!

On my Tungsten C (so I'm drawing on the screen), I draw the L on the
left of the screen and then do the stroke for the space using the
middle of the screen. Works for me although it took a bit of getting
used to.

Graffiti 2 is not easier than the original and this is not the only
flaw it has.

Try writing the "l", and wait for one second. Then do the horizontal
bar for a space.

Since no one helped you with your original question, and they just
hijacked your thread to put down Graffiti 2...

To do an "l", draw a line at the LEFT SIDE of the Letter graffiti
area. Then draw the horizontal bar towards the RIGHT SIDE of the
Letter graffiti area. The horizontal line must come after the "l" and
must not intersect it. That's how you do an "l" with a space at the
end.

NOTE: If the horizontal line you draw for the space crosses the "l"
you made, ONLY THEN will it turn into a "t". Do you understand this
notion?

The graffiti would look like this: Like this: l ----
Not: --- l ----

Although I'm a critic of Palm's new devices, I dislike it when people
whine about things like Graffiti 2 and never gave it a chance, cough
like some people in this thread, cough. In many ways, it is better
than Graffiti 1. To downgrade back to Graffiti 1 is like a Win XP user
going back to Win 95.

Au revoir.

I gave it an honest shot. The inability to do a /i was a showstopper
though, plus the fact that most of the characters are more complex (and
therefore take longer to write)

Why the analogy to XP and 95 and who is whining? Graffiti 1 is simpler to
use and faster *for me*. Given the choice, I'd prefer to use G1 on my T3
and that's exactly what I'm doing. My text entry has speeded up
considerably and I don't revert to the keyboard nearly as much.
