Poll–Shopping Lists in Shorthand?

How many of you write your shopping lists in shorthand? I’m asking because my fiance remarked this weekend that I must be the only person on Earth who does it.    I explained to him that I’m practicing…  Yes, it takes me much longer to make the list in shorthand at this point, but it…

No one knows Gregg?

Hi all, I take it nobody on here is able to actually read Gregg? Haven’t heard any positives on my “diary entry” posting of a few days ago and was a bit confused. If anyone actually knows Gregg on here – please give a shout! Cheers, epirnik (by epirnik for everyone)

Some time ago, after the death of my grandfather, I discovered a journal of his dating to 1960 that contained entries chronicling meetings with Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, etc (our family hails from Cuba). One entry is of particular interest to me, from a historical standpoint, however, half the entry was…

“Gregg Shorthand in Three Parts”

Need a Shorthand Translater

I work in a law firm in Northern California.  We have a case in which some documents contain information in both handwritten English and what appears to my untrained eye to be Gregg’s shorthand.  I am interested in finding out what the shorthand says and nobody here has any knowledge of shorthand.  If the information written in…
