Gregg Shorthand

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.

    • lvw 16 March 2023 at 9:13 pm on A Message for New MembersLike Lee and Elizabeth, I first learned Diamond Jubilee. I agree that it, Series 90 and Centennial are very similar.
    • Carlos 3 March 2023 at 6:54 pm on Question about Notehand “R”Both "hurry" and "furry" are written with the oo-hook in Anniversary and earlier series. Louis Leslie changed that starting with
    • Carlos 3 March 2023 at 12:14 pm on Question about Notehand “R”Correct. A way of looking at it is that you only insert the e in the obscure vowel situation if
    • Sean Goldfarb 3 March 2023 at 12:06 pm on Question about Notehand “R”But wouldn't "hurry" be written as h-e-r-ee"? Unfortunately for me, an imaginary American accent doesn't always work for me haha,

    • Carlos 25 February 2023 at 10:35 pm on Down the Mountain – Part 2The word was "line" in all instances; I thought I had corrected all the "line" outlines, but I missed two.
    • Lee 20 February 2023 at 3:09 pm on Outline for “entry”–Anniversary and SimplifiedOne important point to remember is that Gregg Shorthand was never designed as a phonetically or linguistically totally logical system.
    • Carlos 19 February 2023 at 4:58 pm on Outline for “entry”–Anniversary and SimplifiedInteresting. I didn't think of this possibility as an explanation.
