I'm trying to learn Gregg #shorthand in my (limited) free time for reasons still unclear to me. I guess it's kinda relaxing and I like being able to write privately (and quickly).
However the book I'm using is a textbook from the 50s aimed at secretaries and other business professionals. All the practice phrases are about placing orders for sheets of paper and ensuring that you buy them at a fair price.
@zstix Yeah, Gregg is a bit of a beast to tackle, which version were you looking at? I've been defaulting to orthic for English most of the time, it's just way easier to wrap your head around http://orthic.shorthand.fun I'm also trying to gather up a shorthand magazine on kbin https://kbin.social/m/shorthand, but let's see, building something up takes time :)
@sotolf I'm learning Gregg Simplified, since it seemed like there was a fair number of resources (albeit dated) and it looks pretty. Reading comprehension is improving but my writing is still quite gross.
I'll have to check out the group on kbin. Happy to assist if you need any help.
@zstix Basically now the biggest problem is that I'm the only one in it, I was trying to get some people from the reddit shorthand group over, but most of them aren't really interested in moving over to another platform, so I Just post some quotes and stuff, and hope that people will join some time, just need to fill up the timeline a bit, maybe some more people posting some quotes or something will kickstart it a bit at least :)
@sotolf I'll post some stuff when I'm done with my vacation in a few days. The shorthand subreddit was quite helpful to me (especially seeing the quote of the week answers)
@zstix Cool :) Yeah, that's where I came from, I wasn't really wanting to be a moderator or anything, but I was thinking that if I don't start it then probably it will just take longer, and if someone stumbles over it, maybe they are interested :)
