Let's all go back to learning shorthand!
This is what my arthritic handwriting looks like anyway...
Shorthand is pretty badass. My mother knows how to read and write it, and I envy the speed at which she can take notes. A bonus for her was that she could write stuff down when we were kids and nobody could read it.
I always wanted to learn, but the farthest I ever got was professional level typing. My mother in law is a paralegal and says she rarely ever uses it anymore.
Weird they call it shorthand. That looks like a lot of writing just to say "Gregg."
wait, that's an actual script? I thought it was just slang!
Court reporters learn it. They can transcribe conversations by hand. It's pretty wild. From what I understand of it, each symbol is a word, or combination of words.
Its more just writing the sounds with othet short cuts.
