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.
Should the beginning of denouement be written with the den blend or as d-e-n? If it was a more common word, I would expect to use the den blend, but I’m hesitant. I apologize for the blurry, unsteady outlines, but hopefully the difference is clear. Which one looks more correct?
This was written in a college-ruled notebook and contains some rough notes for an adventure I’m working on called The Death Cult: http://skogensskuggor.tumblr.com/post/132825924280/notes-for-a-swords-wizardry-adventure. It’s my first post on Tumblr; hopefully one of what will be a long series of rough notes, ideas, narrative, etc for gaming and fiction. I plan to run this using a tabletop…
It dawned on me that going through the Transcription Simplified book has become something of a chore that I do because it’s part of the chain of things I set up for myself in order to learn Gregg Simplified. I can read those letters pretty quickly now, and I barely glance at the words before…
Finally finished working my way through Gregg Dictation Simplified 2nd Edition. Two lessons into Gregg Transcription Simplified and I’m noticing that it is quite a different book from the first two. There’s no real instruction or fluff, just lots and lots of material to practice with, which is exactly what I need. I like that…
I am looking to buy either “Gregg speed building for colleges: Simplified ed” or “Gregg speed building simplified” and I’m wondering which would be best. My Simplified is getting halfway decent, although I could definitely use more practice in order to get down all of the abbreviating principles. Up to now I have focused far…
A short work about a strange artisan named Wipp Original: http://strolen.com/viewing/Wipp
Is there a recommended abbreviation for PC (as in personal computer)? Would it be an intersection of P and K, from personal and computer? Or p-e-s-e, from the way it’s spoken? Also, I can’t find “microwave” in my dictionary, which surprised me. I have been spelling it m-i-k-r-o-a-v, leaving out the w because it seemed…
This is something fictional I wrote more than a year ago for a site where we share ideas for tabletop RPGs. I copied a piece of it yesterday, the most shorthand I’ve done in one sitting for months. I had to keep the dictionary and my personal reference handy throughout. Even so, I’m pretty sure…
