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’m on the Reading and Writing Practice 345 and stumped as to two outlines. The sentence before and after reads: You can be sure only if you have been able to make ______ _______ comparisons with the way other apartments are being operated. (This is the green Simplified book, not the college edition or…

When did Gregg steno pads stop being sort of gridded, as in examples from Martin Dupraw or the jury charge of Zoubek over on angelfishy (at least I think that was what it was) and morph into what we use today, or have there always been two entirely separate types of paper?
I happened to read that she was a trained secretary who took shorthand much faster than her personal assistant. Apparently, she never went to meetings with studio executives without her steno pad. Thought that was a neat little factoid. Happy Friday!
Does anyone here strictly adhere to the “correct” hand position as outlined in some of the books, which seems to be a slightly modified Palmer writing grip, except with three fingers rather than two bering used as the movable rest? I’ve been trying with varying degrees of success to write the lessons like this. I…
I’ve consulted the PDF of proper names in shorthand, but Felicia wasn’t on it. Would it be written Fl-e-sh-a or written out F-e-l-e-sh-a? Many thanks for any help.
I’m going through the Anniversary FM, volume 1, and am I supposed to write out the shorthand plates in lessons 1-21 in English? They’re listed as assignments, so I thought I was, and I’ve been doing it that way. Thanks.
I’m going through the Anniversary edition of Gregg, and am on Unit 11, exercise 103, and I’m stumped. Could someone give me a hand? The sentence seems like it says: We shall expect you to bring your report to a special committee meeting this evening rather than send it … … do. Thanks for any…
I’ve been going over one line of text in the 1919 version of the manual, and though I should know what it says by now, I’m stumped. As far as I can tell, the sentence (pp.57-58, lesson 9) reads: This organization stands for service and this spirit is shown in all its deals and in…
Just wondering what everyone uses when writing shorthand–pen or pencil. I’ve read that using a pencil will slow you down and to always use a pen, then I’ve read other places about people using a pencil, so I thought I’d see what everyone here thinks about the subject. I’m using a cheapo Bic ballpoint right…
