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 thought that initial RE was shortened to R if it is a prefix that doesn’t belong to the root of the word (as in refaire, reposer, etc.).
But in my French DJS manual, I notice that recette is written R-S-E-T, whereas renommé is written R-E-N-O-M-E.
Yet in recette, “re” is part of the root and is not a prefix, while it can be considered a prefix in renommé… so I’m not clear about how to decide whether to include the E or not.
Thanks!
