has a "shorthand." It is not some
wild
variation
of
the
language,
or
a "regional dialect", but a
genuine
shorthand.

have deliberately not used it
until you
were
well
into
the language so you would learn how to
communicate with all
those other folks out there who don't
have
this shorthand provision.
