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.

Hi all, I’ve attached a study I recently completed that is based on the “disjoined prefix” principle first expounded upon in the 1916 Manual. A little background on this… I began my study of Gregg with the 1929 manual and dictionary, and as I progressed, I noticed that even in 1929 the disjoined prefixes and…

Attached is a comparison of Page 6 of the 1919 and 1931 editions of Alice in Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand. The 1919 Alice in Wonderland Gregg Shorthand edition conformed to the 1916 Pre-Anniversary Gregg Shorthand Manual. In 1931, the 1919 Shorthand plates were revised to conform to the 1929 Anniversary Gregg Shorthand Manual. With 154…
