GA OR SK
SKSK

You can use punctuation marks such as commas and periods,
although many people choose to omit them. You may also
abbreviate words, such as:
GA go ahead
SK stop keying
CD could
CUL see you later
CUZ because
HD hold
MTG meeting
NBR number
OIC oh, I see
28 • N O T E S
When you talk with another person by TTY, you type
while the other person reads. When you want the
other person to respond, type GA for "Go ahead."
To say goodbye, type GA OR SK. This gives the other
person a chance to say any last words before ending
the conversation.
To end the conversation, type SKSK.
Some people prefer to type Q instead of a question
mark because it saves time and is easier to type.
