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.

As half a physicist it was interesting to see how the physical aspect was described, and I learnt the basics of photosynthesis which was nice.
I had a word I could not get:
p2c1l13: "? energy that is"
And a few of questions:
(a) is the first form on p3c1l3 "thingS"?
(b) is the penultimate form on p3c2l11 "considering"?
(c) should there be a "to" before humans on p4c2l22?; and on p5c2l9/10 should there be a "to" or "for" between "chemical" and "which"? Maybe it was the author who foxed me.
(d) p7c1l14: is it "and thus we IDENTIFY"?
Thanks for the corrections to pages 3 and 4. Here are the answers to your questions.
p2c1l13: "inexhaustible"
p3c2l11: "conceiving"
p5c2l9-10: "chemical change"
p7c1l14: Yes, the word is "identify."
Thanks Carlos. Some nice points.
I should have considered "conceive".
"Inexhastable": The manual (para 106) had a rule to put in the vowel if a vowel followed the consonant. And para 103 in the pre-anniversary says the same. Only in Q&A (no. 81) does he explain about "compound prefixes" — which is a rather fine judgement to make I feel.
I had a fixed idea of what I was reading and was not flexible enough to read "change" rather than "which".
"Identify": It was obvious when reading it (after I had decided it was "Ident…"). Looking at my dictionary the endings for that word seem rather random — I cannot place them into a similar group of "word families".
