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.
Common Sense was a pamphlet published by Thomas Paine early in 1776. It was so popular, that over 100,000 copies were sold within three months; few writings of the period had so wide an influence. Paine’s epigrams and apt illustrations stuck in people’s minds and proved him a master of the art of spreading ideas;…
I’ve been meaning to transcribe something in Anniversary for the group (and to give Carlos something new to read, since he is usually the one doing the writing!), and this speech from 1963 seemed apropos to post given things going on in the world today.

Hey everyone, I’m one lesson away from finishing the Anniversary Functional Method Part One (celebrate!), and Part Two was due to arrive just as I finished Part One… but they accidentally sent me another copy of Part One. Oh well, I’m going to pick up in the Anniversary Manual where I left off. I have…
I’m starting a Gregg-learning club with some friends, as a productive quarantine/summer pastime, that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. In the past, I have tried teaching myself Anniversary, and even made a little bit of progress, but I’m hoping that with this accountability, I’ll be able to finally finish the thing….
EDIT 2020-05-01: Found another Gregg medical steno book on Archive.org, added it and updated the count of Gregg medical shorthand books. Hello all, I’m trying to figure out which Gregg medical shorthand book to get. I poked around the blog archives, but I wasn’t able to find the exact answer to my question. So far…
