I have returned
Well, I’m done with Finals and christmas (I got an A on all of them, whee!) and soon I shall resume my study of Gregg. I am currently at my Uncle’s house and I’m showing him the manual.
Gregg Simplified, Gregg Simplified Functional Method and Gregg Simplified for Colleges – which to start with?
Hi. My name is Susan. I am retired and currently living in central North Carolina, but spent most of my life in New England. I have always wanted to learn Gregg Shorthand and now that I am retired and have the time, I’m anxious to get started. Thanks to this blog, I have learned a…
Chapter 70 of DJS Textbook!
The final chapter. I’m kinda proud of myself. 🙂

Hi everyone! OK, this question is more directed at Carlos, but I couldn’t figure out how to send a PM on the new system, so here goes: I ran a little shorthand blog for French Gregg earlier last year (I warn you before you click the link, the shorthand is rather horrendous and I haven’t been…
Gregg happenings at school
Today I asked one of the secretaries at school to let me know the answer to the question I asked her, so an hour later she sent up a “Secret note” and when I read it I giggled like an idiot. She signed it like this I couldn’t help but notice she wrote d-a-n instead…
A more Standard AGS

O.G.A. Membership Test entries under Penmanship Practice – What were they?

What was/is the O.G.A. and what was the purpose of publishing them in the magazines each month? And how would one use them now for study/practice?
Shorthand Transcription Studies
I haven’t heard mention of this book here before, although I’ve encountered it for sale a few times. I wonder if anyone has seen it uploaded online to share or has information about its contents (I’ve found no descriptions of it yet). At first glance there is nothing to suggest it is specifically Gregg related,…
A gold mine of information
Yesterday, I went to the menu choice Learners Aids, then Learners Corner and read back through all of the posts…. back to spring of 2004. Wow !! What an incredibly valuable gold mine of information there is on this blog site. Thank you, Carlos, for making this available to all of us. I am blown…
