Introduction and Shorthand Dictionaries

Hello Everyone,

My name is Alycia.  I am new to the site.  I have to say I am quite impressed with how well it is laid out, the quality of the posts, as well as the informative feedback.

I learned Gregg Shorthand back in the mid-1980s.  I had no idea that there were multiple versions of it until relatively recently.  I believe I learned the Series 90 version.  I have found it to be so useful and have used it in many aspects of my life from taking notes in college to using it on the job as a paralegal, to writing simple to do lists.  I even went to court reporting school thinking there was a similarity between the two.  While the concepts are similar, there is quite a difference between them.

I currently teach the Centennial version, with some Series 90 input, to homeschool students.  My mother taught shorthand and business classes back in the 1960s.  I hope to keep the tradition alive by teaching shorthand to others as well as my own children.

With that being said, I see various references to specific kinds of Gregg Shorthand dictionaries.  Are there any dictionaries that compare the different versions in one spot.  That could be a chart or spreadsheet of different words and the way to write it under each version heading.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to reading more from this site.

Best wishes,

Alycia
