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.
I’ve just got hold of a 1949 copy of a Simplified dictionary, and was interested to read what it says about speed: ‘The fastest shorthand outline (within reasonable limits) is the outline that requires least mental effort, the outline that is written consistently and analogically. The speed of a shorthand outline is not to be…

There’s also a set of anniversary books listed on E-bay that includes the Key to the anniversary manual (the other books look like a good assortment, too). Alex http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=378&item=4528142751&rd=1
There’s a copy of the 1968 edition of Gregg Notehand listed on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=378&item=4528393874&rd=1 It doesn’t show up very often, so if you’re interested you might try for it. Alex (by alex for everyone)
Michael K., I hope you can help me with a little dilemma. I’m trying to figure out what kind of tea I had in Russia. Before going there, Lipton was all I knew of tea, and I wasn’t very impressed by it. In Russia, I was shocked by how good the tea tasted! I couldn’t…
I’ve found that Pitmaniacs insiste that notes in Gregg grow cold and are difficult to read. And the opposite opinion from Geggoists – Pitman is difficlut to read and notes grow cold quickly. One thing I would love to do in Shorthand is to keep a ‘memory’ journal. You know, a who did what to…
Pitman, Teeline, Speedwriting… and Gregg. I though putting all those words in the subject heading would get some attention! However this is really my hello to the group. This might be long, but please stay with me for a while :O) (Now, this is difficult for me as I am thinking of defecting from Pitman…
I seem to remember a discussion here a while back about whether there was a “key” for the anniversary manual. I wasn’t sure at that time, but have recently found a copy. It was copyrighted 1929, and is just a straightforward transcript of both the reading and writing materials–i.e., there is shorthand material as well as…
I’m stuck on a word in Lesson 36, section 338 of the Simpified manual. It’s the third line from the end: ‘He was busy rounding up his [something] hens.’ It’s [a s ten sh t] but I just can’t figure it out. It’s driving me crazy. Can anybody help? Thanks, Kevin (by kevinwal for everyone)
Hi fellows, I know there’s a file with a description and a picture about the right position for writing, but I cannot read it, because it’s too small. Perhaps, time ago, this subject was already talked… so, can anyone give me some instructions to follow, please? I mean, about how to grab the pen, how…
