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.
Just a “heads up” to the group . . . there are a couple of copies of the Gregg “Alice in Wonderland” on E-Bay right now, one in paperback and one in hardback. Starting prices are reasonable, and you just never know where an auction’s going to go . . . The hardback copy looks…

Even I…
I have been told that reading speed should be around twice as fast writing speed. Well I’m having issues, cause even though my writing is now up to 90wpm even on relatively new material, my reading speed on new material is a hanging at that at or below that mark, both with my own shorthand…
I finished chapter 7 (of 12) of the Anni manual last night, and have now started my reading for that chapter. (FDrills and GReadings) I like that Gregg teaches the most-used theory first. We get more interesting material and we get good at it, but the less-used theory ends up getting short-changed. With the amount…

I have, nevertheless, continued to use it for note-taking ever since then. Out of curiosity I have learned, over the years, to read Anniversary, and I have…
