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 slowly working towards introducing some Senecal Rules into my DJS, and I’m a bit confused about the dot which stands for ant/issant (para. 54 of the Senecal manual), when it comes to “ayant” (with the yod).
The word “ayant” itself is written e-circle + left-yod + dot, however other words such as “envoyant”, “essayant”, “croyant” are writtef without the yod. I was wondering why.
Thank you.

I don't think there's a specific reason to write the yod, other than clarity (perhaps wanting to avoid confusing it with the phrase et/es/est/aies/ait/aient + un/une). However, an e with a dot next to it in French would read ayant, since there is no other word possible. Just make sure you write the dot close to the word without leaving a big space.
