Interesting Gregg fact

I was reading Alice in Wonderland in Shorthand the other day (by the way a must-read either in shorthand or not) and I had the pages upside down and tried to start reading it and I realised that even though it was upside down there were no illegal or unkosher looking strokes. The outlines still…

Penmanship booklet

St. Casian

Fellow stenographers, today is St. Casian’s Day according to my National Notary Assoc. Calendar.  St. Casian is the patron saint of stenographers and was martyred on this day in 298 a.d. (I did not make this up…)  Cheers! (by troutgirl1501 for everyone)
