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 couldn’t post this to the discussion about Gregg-ruled paper on Incompetech, so I’ve started a new thread.

I just noticed today that The Daily Gregg is up and active again, and has been so since January. Last month there were a lot of posts there, and I’ve just begun to wade through the all. It’s good to have it back.
Carlos, Thanks for re-posting “After Twenty Years” with the missing page included. I’d like to make another suggestion. The drop-down tabs for the reading selections allow us to choose readings in all the Gregg series except Centennial. Now that you’ve written up a couple of things in Centennial, could you add a drop-down tab for…
There’s a matter that’s been bothering me for some time. It concerns -lity and -rity. In all the series of Gregg shorthand that I know a bit about, -lity is also used for -lty; e.g. admiralty, faculty, fealty, loyalty, penalty.
