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 curious if my hypothesis is correct, but can’t test it myself just yet. This chapter and last have many prefixes that combine many letters. The groups electr-, intr-, and ship/short. On average, 3 sounds combined into one shape. My theory is fast writers will find later passages faster than earlier ones because of this….
To My Shorthand Friends: It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 months now that I began my journey in the study of Gregg shorthand. After all of these months I have made my way to Assignment 33 in the Simplified system. I do feel a small sense of accomplishment in making it to this point….
I’ve had this idea brewing for a while, so here goes: As I said in a prior post, Bruce Ford (another member who I haven’t seen in this site since we moved) and I found out we live quite close together. So we had dinner and have gotten together every so often since then Anyone else…

I’m just curious if there are any people that are either studying, reviewing, or maybe struggling with the basic manual, no matter which series. If anyone wants to share which lesson are you right now, what has been your progress, or what is keeping you from finishing the book, I would welcome that information as…
I was reading the Anniversary edition of the manual again, and I read how it had been adapted to Gaelic. The edition this was written in is the 1919 Anniversary manual. Can we be sure that the Irish edition is out of copyright by now, or may there be later editions?
If you would like more Simplified reading material, there’s currently an eBay auction for a lot of 25 Today’s Secretary magazines from 1955–1958 (currently expiring on the 23rd of April). Those always contain reading material in Gregg Simplified, which is otherwise hard to come by: stories, OGA assignments, vocabulary pages, jokes, and so on. (I’ve…
Obviously I need some practice, but this is what I have right now. I’m on assignment 6, ch 1. I have trouble forming certain letter combinations, and I’m sorry but I don’t have time to type out what it’s supposed to say right now. 🙁
I was re-studying Lesson 11 in my Simplified manual with some reading practice this evening and I am a bit confused with the yellow highlighted word. (This picture is not of the entire sentence) but it says “…asked me to ship to her…” [home] is the next word. But, I don’t understand why the phrase…
