About Gregg Shorthand
An American shorthand by John Robert Gregg based on flowing elliptical curves. Light-line symbols removed the thick and thin distinction, speeding the pen. Became dominant in American business schools for decades. Written without lifting the pen for common phrases. Contest records exceed 280 words per minute.
