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.

Hello, here is the following paragraph of the Bossuet eulogy about Henriette-Anne, the king’s brother’s spouse. It’s shorter and, I think, there’s no difficulty. Next time, a lighter text… Edit: corrections done. Edit: At the behest of Mr Salkilld, here are the first three lines of the text and the transcription in French: I don’t have…
Hello, granted, this is not a “jolly text” but it’s from Bossuet and it is from his most famous oration. The speaker is there at the peak of his art. Lastly I can add there’s a weak relationship between this text and the previous one in French: poor Henriette-Anne’s state would have been the combination…
Hello, here is an except from a French translation of “The Limits to Growth, the 30-Year Update”. (The author of this little tale would be the mathematician Robert Lattès.)
”Supertick” Hello, a short excerpt from a book about survival in nature. The author, David Manise, talks about his encounter with a tick and is praising its survival skills. Warning: tickbullying… Edit: corrections done.
