Hi everyone! OK, this question is more directed at Carlos, but I couldn’t figure out how to send a PM on the new system, so here goes: I ran a little shorthand blog for French Gregg earlier last year (I warn you before you click the link, the shorthand is rather horrendous and I haven’t been…

Expression in Anniversary

If we have P-R for present and P-R-ISH for presentation and R-P for represent and R-P-ISH for representation, why is it E-S-P-R for express BUT E-X-P-R-E-ISH for expression? What’s the rule for adding the final E? This was one of those things I did automatically and then went back and checked.  Yes, I did it…

Simplified users — help with a quick experiment

I’m messing around with Mnemosyne, a spaced repetition program designed to aid learning through a “flash card” approach.

Need help for software

I’ve finally gotten back to coding the Gregg 2013 shorthand suite, and now that I’ve made substantial progress (that is, compared to last time), I need the group’s help for compiling the outline dictionaries. Just like last time, because it’s the only version I know, I only have the outline dictionary for Anniversary. https://github.com/chance528/gregg/blob/devel/data/1929.ags The file…
