--------------------- Learning not to anticipate letters is invaluable. It was critical for accurately copying five letter groups of random letters, numbers and punctuation marks (including things like $, (,), # etc) which we did for the commercial radiotelegraph exam years ago. That helps avoid lots of mistakes and lost copy too when you're surprised that what you thought the word was isn't <G>. Trivia item: probably 90% of the Hams know the Morse for the ampersand (&) and don't realize it. It's "ES" or dit, dit-dit-dit.
