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.
Hi Everyone, I noticed today while reading Plate 236 in my Simplified manual the phrase “let us know”. I know that the brief form for let is L-E but I don’t ever recall learning L-E-S for “let us”. My first read-through of this plate I didn’t think anything of it because of the context of…
Good evening everyone 🙂 I am studying tonight and I am a little perplexed with something. How come the word “finance” is not written with the broken circle (like in the word “file” for example)? I even double-checked the outline in my Simplified dictionary.

Hey All, I just read a neat article on here regarding learning shorthand using the Functional Method. I am curious in whether or not there are Functional Method books for the Simplified system?

Hi Everyone, I am uploading a practice sheet I did today. I purposefully erased the longhand word for each column that I was practicing in order to see if anyone can make out any of the words I’ve written. Mind you my handwriting is not that good. But, with that aside, I think it will…
I was reading and reviewing some phrases this evening in my manual and have a question about writing the phrase “on behalf”. What is the proper way to write the “h” when writing the phrase? Does the “h” get written last (sort of like dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s as in longhand)? -Zoom
Hi Everyone, Sorry it took a few days to get this posted, but this is the electronic steno paper I created a while back. I really haven’t used it because I find writing between the lines a bit too constrictive. I tend to write big. Not sure whether this is something that I should work…
Hi Everyone, Just a quick question. I am searching online (eBay, Amazon, Abe, etc.) for a copy of the Gregg Shorthand Dictionary Simplified and I’m seeing all sorts of hits, but so many of them have different publish dates. Would anyone know what the most current and up-to-date year that this dictionary was published? Thanks!!!
