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’m having difficulty writing “couverture” the Anniversary (Sénécal) way. My V invariably tends to straighten up because of the reverse motion used to write the following circle. Would you have any tip to help keep a nice V/F curve followed by reverse circle and avoid getting something that looks more like J/CH (my problem at the moment)?
Thank you.

The v will straighten out because of the reverse circle; you can’t avoid that. However, the key here is that the v will end directly below or slightly before the beginning of the k, whereas if it were a j it would be less slanted (the j would end close to the middle of the k). When writing this word, think of it as if you were writing a big longhand question mark, and you should get the right shape.
Nice trick, thank you Carlos.
You’re welcome!
