A Couple of Questions

Hi everyone, I’m progressing through the French Gregg adaptation by R. J. Sénécal and have a couple of questions. They are pretty elementary, but they have been bugging me for a while. I hope my questions will also help others who are starting Gregg too. I’ll try to organise this post as best I can….

French Gregg

I just found a sweet little volume, “Sténographie Gregg”,  1924, by Ernest W. Farmer M.D. (!), published by Gregg but printed in Norwood, Massachusetts.  It came with the “Clef de la Sténographie Gregg”, a single sheet of “errata”, and a form from Marywood College in Scranton, PA listing those who were absent on April 20,…

Polish Gregg – summary

I think it’s time to sum up my impressions of the Polish version of Gregg Shorthand, as I promised to Chuck couple months ago. I had spent several months carefully learning the rules of the system, preparing for them my right hand (I’m left-handed). However, if the graphic material of the system seems pretty good,…
