Gregg Shorthand for the Electronic Office Charts (Series 90)
I scanned in some more charts, this time from Gregg Shorthand for the Electronic Office Parts 1 & 2 (1984). I created a key for them as well. Enjoy!
The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources.

I was writing a note to myself and wanted something like “until further notice”. It doesn’t have to be that phrase exactly, just something to remind me to keep an eye out for the next change. Any ideas? Thanks, Cricket (by Cricket for everyone)
I am converting to Anniversary from Simplified because my hand rather than my head often slows me down. I write longhand very slowly and laboriously, and a number of the longer Simplified outlines take me a long time to write, even though I recall them very clearly. Writing E-S-R for instead of E-Left S-E-R-S-I-S “exercise” and E-S-L…
