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.
I can’t for the life of me remember how to write this combination. How, for example, would you write the Bible name Rahab? I’m sure I must have learned it, but I’ve got a mind block. The two a’s together look very awkward. Thanks for any help.
My DJS book has a section at the back with “Recall drills.” It is a list of joined and disjoined word endings and joined and disjoined word beginnings. It’s very handy. I was wondering if there is a list like that for Simplified? I’m trying to learn it, but I have cognitive problems due to…
I’m calling them combination strokes, but I don’t know what they are really called.

I come from a part of the country where people pronounce “wh” words like other “w” words. I only know 2 people who pronounce the “wh” sound. So, I don’t bother to put the dot above the w. I’m just curious if anyone else drops it, and where do you live?
The biggest trouble I seem to have with my handwriting is the slant, or I should say, lack of slant. my handwriting has always been vertical in cursive and my shorthand tends to be the same. This makes some of the letters sort of pile up on each other. I was wondering if anyone else has…
I only took one year of DJS in high school. After the basic book (I had a Functional Method book) I was wondering if the next books Transcription, Dictation, and Speed Building have any new brief forms or other new “shortcuts” or are they just focused on transcribing properly and knowing proper punctuation and grammar and…
I’ve been looking at used shorthand books online and I’ve come across “Individual Progress Method,” “Structured Learning Method,” and “Programmed Gregg Shorthand, Experimental Edition.” Does anyone have any idea what the difference is in these books?
Just saw this on the BBC news. Being British, they don’t mention Gregg shorthand, but I still thought it was interesting. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34603886
Hello. My name is Lisa I just joined. I’m glad to find this site, because I learned shorthand in school (Diamond Jubilee) and am just starting to get back into it. I had forgotten a lot, but it’s coming back to me. I was wondering if it is very difficult to learn Anniversary? Will I…
