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.
Hello,
I got used to writing the x (=ks) sound using a modified s in French DJS. Only today I came across the word désaxé, which is surprisingly written with a K followed by an S, instead of the usual modified S that is to be found in fixé, taxé, détaxé, etc. So why the exception for axe and désaxé, which contain the exact same syllable as in taxe and détaxé ?
Thank you.
