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.
When I click on the link in this thread: http://greggshorthand.multiply.com/journal/item/1146/About_posting_and_tagging I can post a new topic. Where do I find the All Messages section to click to post. The only thing I can find posts the topics in a separate blog. Thanks (by Shorthand-learner for everyone)
Does anyone ever feel like they are fighting the wrong front in the attainment of shorthand speed. As those who’ve been around for a while know, I’ve been fighting this 120wpm mark for many months. After finishing the manual, my practice has boiled down to dictation. I sometimes make relatively weak efforts to do…
I am wanting to learn the Anniversary Gregg Shorthand. I have accessed this site: Anniv. Gregg but am not sure how to actually start practicing/learning. Do I just write the consonant sounds and practice them over and over? Is there any kind of workbook out there? I really hope you experts can help me!! (by…

Here is a document I had created a while back too, but was unable to post in MSN, due to file size limitations. It contains covers of several Gregg Shorthand books, and it is classified by Series. Could you please let me know if I had missed a book? I would like to keep this…
Here is a document that I had prepared a while back, explaining the different series of Gregg shorthand. Attachment: gregg-shorthand-comparison.pdf (by Carlos for everyone)
Below are three links that I found which I consider interesting and useful for expanding shorthand vocabulary. They refer to word lists that are either common in English reader texts (General Service List), or in academic texts (University Word List and Academic Word List). Some of these lists have exercises with passages that employ the…
I’m finding it difficult to find the rationale for when or when not to use a blend, especially in (Pre-) Anniversary. For example, the word ‘den’ is not a blend but ‘dense’ is. On the other hand, ‘dense’ is written with the blend, but ‘dance’ is written in full. Also, consider “remain” and “manger”. (In…
I want to clock my current (non-shorthand) writing speed, so I can compare it to later when I become good at Gregg Simplified. Are there any tools or methodologies for doing this? Can I simply grab any random text and see how fast I transcribe it by hand? Is there a formula for words per…
I have learned shorthand from books and not taken any classes. As a result, I find it confusing about how shorthand should fit into lined paper. None of the textbook are lined maybe as an attempt to accentuate that there is no position writing in Gregg. If you were taught in a classroom, did you always…
