Shorthand is a tough but sometimes worthwhile skill. It is complex because it pushes the boundaries of peoples' writing speed. Any shorthand system requires practice if you are to become fluent.Gregg Shorthand is one of many systems you can choose from. They differ greatly, and the choice you make should depend on your preferences and needs. It is wrong to say that one is better than another in any absolute sense.To learn Gregg Shorthand you must learn a new alphabet and spelling system. This takes lots of practice. At first the words may look like "meaningless squiggles," but with practice you can come to read them as easily as longhand.Some shorthand systems are based on the ordinary longhand alphabet. They can be easier for a beginner to learn than Gregg, but once fluency is attained that difference vanishes. Also Gregg is potentially faster to write. Some experts can write Gregg at over 200 words per minute. If you use shorthand to jot down odd notes, speed doesn't much matter. But for dictation, it does, big time.Gregg Shorthand Simplified, despite its name, is neither a dumbed-down shorthand nor a dumbed-down textbook. It is just the 1949 edition of Gregg Shorthand, and is so named because it is simpler than the earlier editions. Several further simplifications have been made since 1949. The current version is called Gregg Shorthand Centennial Edition.Follow-up textbooks, shorthand dictionary, and other materials in Gregg Shorthand Simplified can be purchased only on the used book market, but they are plentiful and cheap. (Ditto for other out-of-date editions.) The Gregg Shorthand Centennial Edition books are still in print and costly....In Gregg, words are not written like Chinese, but are spelled alphabetically.
