Hello Mizz, I really admire how prolific you are, and how dedicated you are to promoting Mizz code. I think Mizz code has a lot of promise as a way to study...
Hello Jamis, Thank you for your interest. I woefully know that my code guide is not useful to take the figure direct. And this time, You are going to write...
I have long printed and saved Mizz code postings hoping that one day I would better understand them. With the two of you collaborating I hope the time has come...
Hello Jamis and Lori, "kick" and "inner-pull" are explained here by mizz. These steps are very popular sequential steps in mizz cord. First "kick" sequence, 1)...
Thank-you for the clarification, Mizz. I think my confusion arose from a misreading of figure #54 of your guide. For some reason I missed step #9 every time I...

That is what mizz code kicks say, Jamis, you show the perfect interpretation. Thank you for your nice work. And I understand how to write in IsFA notations. ...

OK, Jamis, Any time you can complain me as you like on mizz code. #97, Oh you come to almost End. This is 2 Strings (Loops) Figure. In this case s1 and s2 must...
So I've been trying to wrap my mind around Mizz code, and I figured the best way to really learn it is to just do it. Thus, I decided to try and describe "Two...
Hello Jamis, You have done the mizz code play! You are 2nd man who write mizz code for figure. I am quite lucky with you, as a mizz code player in the world. ...
Ah! Thanks mizz. I don't recall seeing "e" discussed in the tutorials; did I miss it, or does this mean there are parts of mizz code that aren't documented...
