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 not sure what happened, but suddenly I’m not getting any e-mails from the group. It worked fine about Tuesday, then suddenly, nothing. I’ve checked my settings with the group and it’s checked that I should get daily e-mails. Does anyone have any idea what may have happened? Tommie (by freebird65832 for everyone)

Curiosity aroused by the recent discussions concerning the 1913 court notes, the abbreviations in earlier editions of the Gregg manual, and extensive curtailing of words in phrases, I started with the Simplified manual and worked my way back, always beginning with the sections starting with abbreviations, then continuing to special phrasing, suffixes (Joined and disjoined),…
In case you couldn’t tell, I am turning out to be much too busy this fall to read every single post you nice people write as I have been so faithfully doing for the past 3.5 years–we all knew it would happen eventually–so, if you find yourself on the group regularly, I am hoping you will volunteer to be an…
Can you help translate this for me? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, JayePea1 Attachment: shorthand.jpg
Hello Everyone, I need to know a good way to study shorthand. I’m learning from the Diamond Jubilee Series, Second Edition book along with the Shorthand for Colleges workbook also Diamond Jubilee Series, Volume One, Second Edition.

We had a general information meeting at work today and, just for the exercise, I took notes in Gregg – not verbatim, but I was surprised at how easy it was to accurately transcribe my notes and relay the essence of what was actually said. My point being, that Gregg does the job well. My…
Found this browsing: “Newrite uses simple signs, but it is not a shorthand or speedwriting system. In these systems, speed is gained at the sacrifice of information. Words are abbreviated and many important vowel sounds are removed. Newrite, on the other hand, captures every sound more precisely than todayâs writing, yet is still much faster…
Hi there, A few months ago I ordered a Cross-Eclectic manual from the US and got it pretty soon. I didn’t had much time to use it though, but as more people seem interested in it I’m wondering if a public PDF would be handy. If so; I’m willing to scan the book and publish…
