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 having a problem that started today with the viewing of blog entries. I reported it to Multiply, but I wanted to verify if anyone else has the same issue. If I’m in the Inbox, and a new message comes in, you have the option of “popping” out the message (hitting the Pop link on…

Has something changed in the groups? The conversations always used to flow downwards, the way you would read a book – so the newest entries were at the bottom. Sometime today, they seemed to change and now flow upwards, with the newest entries at the top. Caused me to miss some new comments at first,…
My husband was watching Ultimate Fighting. (He doesn’t complain about me learning shorthand,…) He said the translator for a Chinese fighter was writing shorthand to help her remember between listening and translating, about 50 words at a time. Yes, possibly it’s just a short-term memory-aid rather than shorthand she expects to read years later, but…
Andrew Owen forwarded me the following email from a charity organization requesting donations of beginner Gregg shorthand books. If you can donate for this cause, the contact information is below. === Hello Andrew: I am an ambassador for Gregg Shorthand, even though I am now retired from business and industry.

As I understand it, Gregg ruled paper is three lines to the inch. If you can’t get hold of proper steno pads (like here in Germany, where Gregg never really took hold!), one way out is to print your own. http://www.incompetech.com/graphpaper/writing.html has several different PDF generators. The lined paper generator may be useful (it lets…
