Are there recommended measurements for strokes

I’m learning Anniversary from the textbooks on the angelfishy site, and would be happy to have a millimetre measurement guide for strokes.

Gregg article

Hey Everyone, I’m a freelance writer (and recent convert to Gregg) just getting started on research for an article about shorthand in America. Although I know a bit about the history of Gregg, I’m clueless about its current status: who still uses it; is there a ‘shorthand community’; how has it evolved since the schools…
