Gregg Shorthand Update

It’s been close to a year since I started my shorthand quest in earnest.

I did wind up changing systems from Gregg Anniversary Edition to Gregg Shorthand Simplified as I found it better for those, like me, who don’t have an in person teacher. Speed-wise, last I checked I was at something better than 70wpm. I’m probably a bit faster since then which is over six months ago, but either way I’m sufficiently fast for my needs – well above the 30-35wpm longhand I could ever manage. I do at least weekly practice by taking notes during church and I can still read them long after the sermon. While I did switch away from Anniversary Gregg, the Anniversary edition dictionary is still quite useful to have as the forms haven’t changed that much for the rare time I do need to look things up.

I’ve known handywrite shorthand for a number of years, and finally decided that I should learn shorthand proper, ideally with the best bang/buck ratio, as well as minimal amount of initial learning, with being able to ramp up the amount I learn later, as time permits. I settled on Gregg shorthand, Anniversary Edition.

In hunting the net in the hopes of learning Gregg, I’ve found a bunch of PDFs that I’ve found helpful. As far as I’ve been able to tell, all of them are out of copyright and/or directly linked. If anyone finds different, please let me know. The ones I was able to figure out where I got them are linked, with local copies (when I believe permitted) in the event that the target site goes away.
