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.
Here is the well-known “To be or not to be” soliloquy from Hamlet, transcribed by me in Anniversary. I’ve used a Sharpie Roller 0.5 mm pen which has a slightly thicker line than I’m used to, but of all the pens I’ve tried out this is the only one that never skips.

You might be the first on this blog to tackle Shakespeare! Loved it!!
Nope. I posted some sonnets a while back:
Sonnet 147: My love is as a fever longing still.
Sonnet 141: In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes.
Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
🙂
Good job, David!
(BTW, a minor thing, there’s no t in “Hamlet.” It follows the analogical ending -let from the Abbreviating Principle.)
D’oh! I totally forgot! I should’ve remembered and realized you’d done Shakespeare before!
Unforgivable: you even commented on one of the posts!! LOLOL.
(Of course, I’m kidding! I have a pretty good memory. No worries.)
I don’t know about the rest of you, but this lockdown is melting my brain! LOL
Thanks. I wouldn’t have thought to drop the “t” but that makes sense!
I’ll have to remember it if I do Winnie the Pooh next and transcribe “Piglet” LOL.
LOL!
You’re welcome.
By the way, I liked the look of the thicker line. I think I’ll have to get one of those pens! Thanks for posting!
Thank-you. It was fun to write the word “fardels”. A first for me.
