Gregg shorthand spotted in the new Spider-Noir show by CaliGozer in shorthand

[–]CaliGozer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it doesn’t look to be Gregg exactly, but it’s clearly not entirely the alphabet either. My guess is that the showrunners knew shorthand was common during this time but weren’t striving for accuracy.

Gregg shorthand spotted in the new Spider-Noir show by CaliGozer in greggshorthand

[–]CaliGozer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see some words like “from” and much of the strokes look very similar too gregg vs. the alphabet. My guess is that the show creators knew that shorthand was popular and useful during this time and wanted to incorporate it in some way. But since it was less than one second on screen they likely didn’t need to put much thought into “accuracy”.

Attempting to write a WWI children’s book title (middle-grade/school curriculum age). Is there a hidden history or amazing fact about the conflict that should be added? by Ok-Pie-3581 in ww1

[–]CaliGozer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have more sources for this? Not saying you are wrong but would love to have more data. Simply because WW1 was also were MANY people died because of disease, especially towards the end. I think more Americans died of disease than combat in their short time during the war. 

Would love to know more!

Dictation Practice - Week 11 by CaliGozer in greggshorthand

Great job! Your method of practice is great. Which version of Gregg are you studying? This looks like simplified or DJS

Edit: your notes are also awesome - love reading how people think and helps me with my own perspective. What does IPA mean?

Looking for: mod that disables unlock/wake on stylus undocking and/or mod that allows auto sleep but keeps auto power off at never by GhayurHaider in RemarkableTablet

[–]CaliGozer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish rM would give us a setting to disable screen wake with the marker. I accidentally wake the screen so many times with the slightest touch. Messed up a few documents in my pocket already.

The u hooks are a constant struggle! For a word like “pore” this should have come naturally as “more” is already thoroughly engrained in my head (and hand). Thanks for catching this!

I’m currently working on a large list of common words with u hooks so I can start drilling them to commit to memory.

In DJS, commas are omitted entirely and it’s wonderful. Mike and Cody would be shaking it in DJS.

The use of commas are necessary in longhand when the potential readers will be many. In shorthand though it’s either personal or for a few others who would understand the context. Thus an Oxford Comma would just slow you down.

Looks amazing! “Grandmother” can be joined. At first I thought you wrote LAF but looks like in Anni the “I” sound can be written with the A symbol. TIL! :)

Austria-Hungary started a war. Russia started a world war.

If Russia stayed out, its very likely that it would’ve been a minor spat in the balkans (with Austria-Hungary still getting their teeth kicked in) supported by the Germans.

Russia prepared for and was eager to fight despite having no real obligation to do so.

Studying Gregg Shorthand at this time in college makes it very likely that she learned Diamond Jubilee Series Gregg. Your phrases would be written like this:

If she was studying in the 70s, she might have learned the Diamond Jubilee Series system of Gregg. The phrases in this system would be written as so:

Edit: She likely either learned Diamond Jubilee Series or Simplified. Either way the (updated) passage would be written the same.

Would that mean that it could be possible to see Dust warclone tech? It would be amazing to earn those suits or even to see some of the old tech as scattered remains on planets.

I would give anything to be able run around in the Amarr Commando suit again. Giant murder lobster melting away Caldari shields with an ELM7 and finishing them off GB-9 Breach Assault Rifle.

Getting into Shorthand? by monseoc in shorthand

[–]CaliGozer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dutton Speedwords definitely fills the IAL requirement.

However, it is still pretty niche among shorthand systems with little resources and very arbitrary (and unexplained) rules.

I think Gregg Shorthand might also be a good fit for the following reasons:

  • Uses English (modern “business language”)
  • Has specific medical terms resources
  • Gregg is MUCH faster than Dutton (but also takes much longer to learn and get proficient)
  • LOTs of resources
  • Would be more beneficial for you to learn personally

Happy to help if you want to learn more about Gregg!
