The Handywrite whizkid

There’s a 13 year old posting impressive speeds of Handywrite shorthand these last few months. His name is Jan but goes under ‘ocergnairb’ I wonder if he surfs this forum? The major thing I noticed as a pose to my own studies, is that after 3 months he was having almost no gaps between words….

1958 Ad for Speedwriting

I posted a photo in the photo section because I thought this was interesting.  I found the magazine at a second hand store and since it has crochet in it (my other hobby) I bought it.  I flipped through it and found this ad.  I love (not) how it says she went to a “glorious…

Any sample of German Gregg you’ve seen?

I’d like to know whether any such living copy of German Gregg Shorthand exists? Of course the gregg.angelfishy.net has the german gregg manual, but there is only one small page at the end of actual text. Michael.btw haven’t posted on here for a while.

Updates on Universal Classes Shorthand 101

Can anyone provide updates on this course (see thread below)? I tried to read the other link this thread provides but MSN closed their groups.
