Alice in Wonderland in Gregg

There’s a copy newly posted on E-Bay . . . it looks to be in almost perfect condition, and the seller started the bidding low, only $8.99.  There’s already been at least one bid, so somebody’s been watching for this one to come up again. Once again, it will be interesting to see where the…

Online Shorthand Course: Shorthand 101

I just found an online shorthand course: Gregg Shorthand 101 (Centennial Version). It is sponsored by universalclass.com.  The link is here: http://www.universalclass.com/i/crn/33894.htm The interesting thing is that it is really a Gregg Shorthand Simplified course (not centennial).

Offering Dictation Material :)

Hello! I’ve been recording a bunch of tough lit stuff for myself to help me get over the 170/180 hump, and I thought it seemed silly to keep it all to myself. Does anyone know of a place where I can upload (and hopefully organize somehow) MP3s to share with everyone? If I cut the…

Long U

In paragraph 165 of Gregg Shorthand Manuel Simplified it says that the long U is represented by e-oo, while in paragraph 192 it says the long U is often represented by the oo hook. When do I use e-oo, and when do I use the oo hook? (by chetjan for everyone)

New to Anniversary

Greetings to all, I’m very interested in learning Anniversary, but have no idea where to start. Could someone recommend either a website or a book that might fall into the category of Gregg Anniversary for Dummies? 🙂 Thanks in advance for your replies, help and patience. Jim (by jague for everyone)
