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 learned my shorthand from a book entitled: ‘Gregg Notehand’ published in 1960. It doesn’t have the same set of brief forms as the simplified version (for example “n” does not stand for ‘not’ and “t” is not a brief form for ‘at’) yet it is pre-diamond jubilee. Can anyone tell me the about notehand…
Well, George and Andrew indicated in ‘shorthand history’ thread that Cross’s Eclectic would would be a challenge… The textbook for it arrived today and I completely see their point!

I just read the well-written article on Gregg Shorthand on Wikipedia. The article states, however, that Gregg Shorthand is the most common system in Latin America. Is it possible that the author made a mistake with this statement? I thought the most common system in Latin America is the Marti system. Does anybody know anything…
The Simplified manual applies all the devices to proper nouns. But I worry that this turns John Donne into John Tain, Gerard Manley Hopkins into Gerard Manny Hopkins, Robert Burns into Robert Bens, and Bertolt Brecht into Bertold Brick. (Suggestions for a British poet with an “ect” ending welcome.) And in some such cases the…

Hi fellows, Gregg shifted from PreAnn to Anniv, and then to Simplified. Who could say what was lost and what was earned in each version? I suppose every new version should be an improvement,but I know that wasn’t that way. Regards, VALO (by valo1969 for everyone)
