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.
Today the mail carrier brought the first to arrive of a list of books I ordered during my mini-book-buying-binge last week. Today’s book is Gregg Reporting Shortcuts. (Total price = $6.) I wasn’t sure I needed this, but now I am quite elated. I was reading last night in one of the first editions of…
Yesterday I was surfing the internet and was reading the article on Wikipedia about Gregg Shorthand which I have read several times previously over the past several months. One thing that I took notice to this last time was that I am seeing conflicting info and was wondering if anyone could help clear it up….
Hey All, I just read a neat article on here regarding learning shorthand using the Functional Method. I am curious in whether or not there are Functional Method books for the Simplified system? The article I read on here was referring to Anniversary. After doing some thinking I can see how using this method could…
Hi Everyone, I am uploading a practice sheet I did today. I purposefully erased the longhand word for each column that I was practicing in order to see if anyone can make out any of the words I’ve written. Mind you my handwriting is not that good. But, with that aside, I think it will…
Didn’t you ever notice how out dated some of the phrases are in Gregg shorthand readings or fundamental drills? Don’t get me wrong; I respect Gregg shorthand as an ingenious system. However, why would I have to learn how to recognize, read, and write the phrase “Let me hear from you” when I’m never going…
This small article that appeared in the October 1912 issue of The Gregg Writer reinforces the importance of proportion in writing Gregg. Attachment: wasnt-quite-sure.pdf
Hi, I am uploading a sample practice sheet of what I have learned so far with Gregg shorthand. I probably won’t be very fast but this is something I’ve always wanted to learn to be able to do. I have been slowly developing Parkinson’s in my hands so my writing can be bad. But, I’d…
Can you believe that there was wireless communication via shorthand early last century? The following small article that appeared in the September 1912 issue of The Gregg Writer will convince you, :-). Attachment: wireless-shorthand.pdf
Hey, my name is Nathan and I’ve been practicing Simplified on and off for a few months now. I’m a Sophomore in college and thought (Because I’m going for a PHD) that being able to literally dictate the notes as the professor lectures would be if not useful, a feat that would make me feel…
I was reading and reviewing some phrases this evening in my manual and have a question about writing the phrase “on behalf”. What is the proper way to write the “h” when writing the phrase? Does the “h” get written last (sort of like dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s as in longhand)? -Zoom
