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.

Hello, In Senecal/Anniversary, I see that there is a disjoined -st suffix for -stic/stique, and a disjoined A (is it really an A-circle?) for -tique. I would have two questions : 1/Senecal says that critique and pratique should not be applied the -tique suffix. I can’t figure out why, especially given that the English version…
Hello, I had to write “revenu” today and wasn’t sure whether to include either or even any of the two E-circles. Sénécal writes revenu R-V-E-N-U, while the Gregg Shorthand Dictionary does the exact opposite (r-E-vnu). However I’m a bit confused because the dictionary gives revenue as rEvnu, but then revere is rvEr, reverse is rvEs,…
Hello, I’m not really happy about the French word “envisageable” striding three entire lines on my notepad, but I can’t find any sensible way to shorten it. I can’t leave ou the B because the verb envisager also exists. I can’t leave out the J because then it would look like “invisible”. Any ideas? Thanks!

He was explaining that most students take their laptops in class and simply type the oral lectures given by teachers directly on their laptops, because their typing speed is much faster than their note-taking speed. According to him, he can type about 4…
