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.
If anyone wants to transcribe the attached poem and send it to lsurridg@uvic.ca, please feel free. I could read the first few lines and thought it would be enough for her to find the original poem but I was wrong. She wants the whole thing transcribed and I’m having trouble with a few words.
Does anyone know what happened to Laurence Cawley’s ShorthandWorld site in Great Britain? It seems to be gone. . . .
As everyone knows, I’ve been doing a thorough theory review, something I preach and something I truly believe builds solid shorthand speed more than anything else. So I’m reviewing last night and up pops the word “submission.” Well, I know that “mission” is written M-E-ISH, so one would assume (NEVER assume) that “submission” is Comma-S…
When I visit my local Barnes & Noble, I always find the one Simplified Manual they have in stock, pull it off the shelf, and browse through it. It’s like visiting an old friend even though I’m an Anniversary writer. For the longest time, the book was located in “reference,” but it got moved to…
If we have P-R for present and P-R-ISH for presentation and R-P for represent and R-P-ISH for representation, why is it E-S-P-R for express BUT E-X-P-R-E-ISH for expression? What’s the rule for adding the final E? This was one of those things I did automatically and then went back and checked. Yes, I did it…
I’ve had this idea brewing for a while, so here goes: As I said in a prior post, Bruce Ford (another member who I haven’t seen in this site since we moved) and I found out we live quite close together. So we had dinner and have gotten together every so often since then Anyone else…
Help. Is it b-u-ld-o-z-r or b-u-l d-o-z-r in Anniversary? This one seems to be stumping me as to how it should properly be written.
First off, much thanks to whoever posted the Anniversary Vocabulary Builder from 1942. I think that book is an excellent learning tool. But I have a question on page 79, Section 33, Paragraph 157, on Intersections. I cannot find anywhere how “parcel post” should be written as an intersection. I went through the Manual and…
I know my beloved Anniversary is fickle and inconsistent and sometimes drives me crazy. I’m going to vent: And I can understand why, if “side” is written S-I, “sides” written as S-I-S can easily be transcribed wrong as “size.” But why have “side” write S-I and yet “sides” as S-I-D-S? That’s so obviously inconsistent. For…
I hate change! Carlos, how do I get my posts to come out under ShorthandMarc?
