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.

Hello, in these particular times, I wanted to post something that can inspire. Marcus-Aurelius was known as ‘the philosopher king’ and here are almost all the quotes in English: 1 – “God give me patience, to reconcile with what I am not able to change Give me strength to change what I can And give…
Hello, some sayings from all around the world and a quote. Again, feel free to critize. 🙂 My favourite is the number 2. Edit: changes made.
Hello, first paragraph of the book of short stories, “Lettres de mon moulin” by Alphonse Daudet. (I’m not very happy about my “lapin”, the “p” curves difficultly…) Again feel free to criticize… Edit: changes made.
Hello, a long time ago existed a blog full of interesting texts, insights, wits, thoughts, humour… It hasn’t completely disappeared because its pages have been saved in another website. The name of the blog was: cheztom.com Here is one of the texts you could find on this blog: Edit: a little change made…
Hello, as the first part was perfect because no mistakes have been found, I resume and conclude the story. This story is — more or less — an education to courtship. Edit: the changes have been made.
Hello, here is a nice African fairy tale. It has been written into French by a well-known writer, Henri Gougaud who collected a lot of meaningful stories. I will post it in two parts… For the numbers, I will remove them later… when there will be no corrections to be made. So… by kind permission…
