In the Facebook Gregg Shorthand group, someone posted a graphic with some words that didn’t make any sense. One of the members tracked down the source, and it turned out to be a sentence from the Pre-Anniversary manual that had been cut in half and put back together with part of the text missing, so the result isn’t an understandable sentence.
I looked at the sentence in the copies of the pre-Anniversary manual I have, and discovered that the 1902 and 1916 editions are not the same. I’m attaching the two different versions. The penmanship is clearly different, and the words “as though” are written as a phrase in one and not the other, for example.
Has anyone ever done an analysis of the evolution in the pre-Anniversary version and the different printed editions?
