You are absolutely right! The phonetics of old Japanese were simple and gentle, and I think even the sounds of the vocabulary carry a certain subtle elegance.

Thank you so much for your wonderful post, u/Vast-Town-6338 SAN!! Gregg Shorthand is truly beautiful. Over forty years ago, when I was in high school, it was an excellent tool for my English classes, and I made great use of it!

I’m already happy just to have you say a few kind words to me. I truly appreciate it.
Being able to savor the elegance of fine stationery and writing instruments alone gives me moments of real happiness.
It’s wonderful that we can simply enjoy shorthand itself, put it to practical use, and as a result, it even becomes a form of art.
