The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

Another interesting read.
I recognized the words but had to look up the tune. I'm not sure which is worse, having a song stuck in your head, or having a song that refuses to come in!
For a beautiful rendition of the hymn quoted in the article, click here.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
My question concerns a word in "A Thought or Two," by Benjamin Franklin, printed at the end of "Learning to Work Under Pressure."
The context is: "The world is certainly a great and stately volume of natural things; and may be styled hieroglyphics of a [b-t-reverse e] : but alas! How very few leaves of it do we seriously turn over?"
The outline "b-t-reverse e" represents "better," of course; but "better" makes no sense in this context. Can this outline represent another word that makes sense here?
The word is "better." Click here for the full quote and the usage of the word will be clearer.
The passage is from the essay "Ignorance" in the book "Some Fruits of Solitude" by William Penn. This book is part of the collection of Harvard Classics.
