Okay, One more Question.. W?
W. I am wondering, after having a look at the gregg manual online, that there is no ‘W’? Say for words like away, while, who, went, when, etc. etc. Are you able to help a confused soul? (by c-higginson for everyone)
Spot the celebrity!
Alison (troutgirl1501) has posted an interesting picture in the “Pictures” section of the site. It came right out of one of the editions of a DJS book. Alex (BeanTea) had made a reference in a few days ago in a post in the General Forum about “spotting the celebrity”, but not knowing what it was…
Do you have an intersting link to share?
As a spam-controlling measure, if any user wants to post a link in our Links section of the site, you can send John or me a note, or post your suggestion under this topic. Luckily, the announcements for escort services will dwindle dramatically. (by Carlos for everyone)

Legal Sten
Does anyone remember something called “Legal Stenography”? I seem to remember this was a form of Gregg particularly adapted for legal secretaries and paralegals. It existed in New York State when I lived there, and I seem to remember our teacher telling us it had a lot more brief forms for the legal vocabulary. Was…
pens
Okay, so this may sound like a rather silly question, but does anybody have a favourite pen for shorthand? For the record my current favourite is the BIC reaction retractable gel pen. (by shorthandworld1 for everyone)
Secret notes to yourself
I am a month and a half into my study of anniversary and the first thing I’ve been using my skills for is not in fact writing fast–even if after a month of anniversary I could miraculously do that, but to write secret notes to myself that I don’t want others to see. My notes are…
Speedw – fastest system ever?
Since I’ve resumed my Pitman New Era studies, my attention has been brought again to this system found on the wonderfull archive.org. Was wondering if anybody has heard anything about it or has any opinions? It looks super fast and simpler than Pitman, and maybe even simpler than the older versions of Gregg. It uses…
