I had no video just pure memorization of my solve
I just had this scramble I got 17.551

I just did my first reconstruction. I know during the real solve I would've done the last pair to get an OLL skip and a H-Perm, but whatever... Anyway here it is, tell me if I did anything wrong.
Scramble - B U2 B L2 D2 F U2 F' L2 R2 B2 U B' F2 L2 F' L' F' U' L2 U'
Inspection – Z X’
Cross – L F’ U’ r’ D’ r Z Y’
F2L 1 – SOLVED
F2L 2 – L U2 L2 U’ L
F2L 3 – L U’ L’ Y U2 L’ U2 L U2 L’ U L
F2L 4 – Y U’ L’ U L U2 L’ U2 L U’ L’ U L
OLL – U’ R U R' U R U2 R'
PLL - M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 U’
TIME - 14.967 MOVES - 50 TPS – 3.3
 
Anyway here it is, tell me if I did anything wrong.
The rotations are in capital letters, you used ’ instead of ' (sometimes), and it doesn't even get close to solving the cube (and I had to edit every other move to make sure it worked, and also alg.cubing.net doesn't like it when you say the substep before the moves; do it at the end of the line, after a //)
 
Is this better?

Speaking of this... Is there a way to get programs/things to automatically use one instead of the other? Asides from copy-paste, when I'm typing algs onto a document on google drive, it automatically uses the former, which is really annoying... (I guess I could just use alg.garron or alg.cubing, so it's not really a big deal)

Aside from one rotation, which still uses a ’, much better :)

I went into Microsoft Word's autocorrect options and changed it to stop changing ' to ’ and that's been useful for me whenever I've typed algs into MS Word (which I used to do).
File -> Options -> Proofing -> AutoCorrect Options -> AutoFormat As You Type -> Replace as you type "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" (the quotes around smart quotes should look like what you usually see).

Approximate reconstruction of my 7.38 at nationals

3x3 round 1 group C (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26685801/scrambles/an2014_scrambles.pdf)

D' F R' D2
R' U' R L' U L

U L' U L
y R U R'
U' r U r' R U R' U r U' r'
U2' x R2' D2 R U R' D2 R U' R x' U

Roughly low-mid 6 tps :/

I'll reconstruct my 8.72 avg later tonight when I have access to a computer.
