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.

If you write DJS, Series 90, or Centennial and visit this site frequently, could you please reply to this post and let me know which series do you write, or if a newbie to shorthand, which of those series are you learning? I’m gathering reading material (other than the boring business letters) and drills specifically…

This funny short story was taken from Gregg Advanced Dictation Simplified. I rewrote it in Series 90. Attachment: dyed-stripling.pdf
