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 came across the following condense summary of the Gregg Shorthand System and thought that the group might find it of some interest. Attachment: Gregg Shorthand System.pdf (by Barry for group greggshorthand)

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how fast I can expect to get to in French Gregg shorthand? I’ve seen something on Spanish Gregg somewhere, saying that one can only hope to attain a fraction of English speed. The record in English is around 280, but I can’t imagine anyone getting to 280 in French. For…
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….
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,…

Just for my sake, since I haven’t come across enough Gregg to see the true difference yet… What exactly is the difference between a th and a s stroke? What is the difference between the sh/ch/j and the t/d stroke? (by Austin for group greggshorthand)
This self-published guide by Roscoe F. Hunt presents a system of writing numbers in Gregg Shorthand. I’m not aware of anyone using this system, but nevertheless, it is an interesting publication. This was retrieved from the electronic files of the Louis A. Leslie Collection of Shorthand Materials at Rider University.

Paragraph 159 on page 86 of the anniversary manual explains how to distinguish don’t from do not after a pronoun. How is “don’t” to be written without a pronoun? Is it just the do not with an apostrophe? (by Ryan for group greggshorthand)
So I was reading through assignment 5 in my Simplified books (regular manual 1st+2nd ed, functional manual 1st+2nd ed) and I found the word “analysis” spelled a-n-l-ses. I checked the dictionary and sure enough, that’s how it spells it, too. I’m not sure how to get to that spelling from the theory in the first…
