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.
Hey since Centennial was released some decades ago by McGraw Hill, who owns the rights to develop updated versions of Gregg? If there were a drive for an updated Gregg, which organisation would have the legal right to utilise the same principles? They can’t just leave this copyright to rot. Will they keep the system…
Just wanted to complement the Gregg signature posted on the pictures part of the forum. He always seems to put in a little bit of shorthand into his personal notes. Here it should say “With ever good wishes” but Gregg has just cut off his ‘s’ off the wishes although the intention is there. If…
I found this searching for something else in shorthand. It’s from The New York Time August 25, 1912. Called “Is speed Stenography a Gift or Hard Work?” Here’s the link http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9506EFDB113AE633A25756C2A96E9C946396D6CF If that doesn’t work try this http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506EFDB113AE633A25756C2A96E9C946396D6CF Then click on View Full Article. Yes the type is very tiny, I had to enlarge it….
I found a post here that included pictures of Sweet shorthand, and it’s very pleasing to the eye. The only problem is I can’t for the life of me decipher the example text using the key provided. I just can’t discern the individual letter shapes in the word forms and break them up. sample text:…
From: http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/06/morse-code-trumps-sms-in-head-to-head-speed-texting-combat Okay, the world title for fastest text messaging is still raging in the streets. The victor in the most recent contest was a bit of a dark horse — 93-year-old telegraph operator Gordon Hill delivered a resounding ass-whoopin’ to his rival, 13-year-old Brittany Devlin, using Morse Code. Of course, Mr. Hill does have…
I want a Tattoo that says “Pitman Sucks!” in Gregg. course most of the people who could read it would be older women, the only people who would be scandalized by the word sucks (and tattoos for that matter). (by wetblanket7 for everyone)
No one uses text messages! We happily use abbreviations and phonetic spelling in shorthand, but rarely use them online. Im almo sprsd tha uedn eu greg splh her, b im gl ue dn. Cricket (by cricketbeautiful-1 for everyone)
Certain PEOPLE have written (not on this board, but in texts) about students “digging themselves into speed ruts,” because, for example, they are writing 60 wpm and continue to write at 60 wpm rather than PUSH themselves to 70 wpm. By staying at 60, they supposedly drive themselves into a speed rut from which it becomes more and…
Doing a search I came across Google Books and the Gregg Writer of 1912 in a PDF format. If it says “Full View” then you can see it in a PDF file. I’m not sure what it’s about as there are over 700 pages I think… that’s what my Abode says. http://books.google.com/books?ct=result&q=gregg+writer is a search…
OK, folks, why all this reluctance to post a photo of ourselves on our profiles? Marc (by shorthandmarc for everyone)
