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.
At my Gregg site, http://gregg.angelfishy.net/, I have scanned the book, 5,000 Most-Used Shorthand Forms, which is like a more concise dictionary of Anniversary Gregg Shorthand than the Dictionary. Also, I have posted the notes of a 1940’s Surrogate Court Reporter, Sklarew, which are in heavily abbreviated Gregg Shorthand. With that is its transcription….
There was some mention in the main forum about carbon papers, stencils, and razor blades to correct those. I’m wondering about other things from the good ole days of typing. Anyone had to type green stencils for mimeograph? Anyone remembers the old copy machines? Erasing pencils for carbons? Blue dittos with the alcohol-based duplicators? Having…
So what’s everyone do for a living? Just curious…I know we have a few students, database analysis whatever-ers, who knows what all!

Hey…am I missing something big here, or is there no way to edit your own messages? You should be able to…but I don’t know. Is it just an option John’s forgotten to turn on? Am I just going blind and it’s been there in front of me the whole time? Is it a hidden option?…
I just spotted today the Second Edition of the Simplified Manual at Borders. Price: $19.95. (by Carlos for everyone)
I guess I’ll have to do this (I didn’t see John’s question until later…see Reference Other Discussions – link). At the top of each board is Choose another message board and when you click on that you see all the message boards available. Then choose View all message boards at once this will let you see EVERY…
Debbi, is there some shortcut you are using to link to related discussions in your posts? It’s so helpful and relevant. (by johnsapp for everyone)
Inadvertently omitted The DangerArranger from my list of thank you’s. Sorry, Danger Arranger! And Thanks . . . SS (by nippersnick1 for everyone)
Thanks to Alex, Andrew, Debbi, Chuck, and John Sapp for helpful replies to my earlier question. I’ll be out of town and away from my computer from November 10 until approximately November 18, so ya’ll won’t hear from me during that time. While I’m gone, I’ll have my shorthand notes with me, and whenever I…
Good point, Alex; I didn’t think about that. The reason for creating Anything Goes wasn’t just for idle chatter, but I think that since it is a particular kind of person who pursues shorthand in this day and age, there might be other similarities between group members as well, and that they might benefit from…
