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.

Sometimes I don't get to read an article here as soon as it's posted, and that's the case with this one. It happens, too, that I've had trouble with a few words here. I'd appreciate it if someone (Carlos?) could clue me in. Here are the troublesome passages.
page 2 column 1
lines 5 to 7: … the law classified women with idiots and criminals as e-r-s-p persons.
lines 11 to 12 : A woman became s-f-ily dead as soon as she married …
page 2 column 2 lines 5 to 7:
A few e-r-th even mentioned that women also ought to have more freedom.
page 3 column 2 line -2 to page 4 column 1 line 2
She needed more experience is what are called worldly affairs and oddly enough, the h-u-n-e-m-u-s supplied it.
Here you go:
1. e-r-left s-p: irresponsible ("responsible" is a brief form in Centennial)
2. s-v-ily: civilly (but I forgot the "e", so my bad — I corrected it).
3. e-r-th: here and there (it needed an h-dot to make it clear, so I added it).
4. h-oo hook-n-e-m-oo hook-n: honeymoon
Thanks, Carlos. I realized that e-r-s-p was "irresponsible" shortly after I asked about it, but didn't get back online to mention it. I notice I had a typo: h-u-n-e-m-u-s instead of …-u-n.
You're welcome!
I should have gotten "Honeymoon". It's a word I've encountered before in shorthand, and read with no trouble. But somehow I kept reading the outline as "Hanuman", which I knew had to be wrong. Just one of those mental glitches, I suppose. Now I wonder how best to write "Hanuman". Maybe h-u-n-e-m-a-n, with diacritics?
I would write it with two oo-hooks, one after the h and another after the first n.
