Gregg shorthand
Gregg shorthand is a way of writing really fast using special symbols instead of writing out all the words as usual. Imagine you have a secret code that only you and your friends can read. That's what Gregg shorthand is like!
Instead of writing out every letter of a word, you use special symbols that stand for groups of letters. For example, a little squiggly line might mean "the," or a little circle could mean "tion" like in "action."
The symbols are based on how your hand moves when you write. So, some symbols are little loops or curves, and others are straight lines or angles.
People use Gregg shorthand to take notes really quickly, especially in things like meetings or lectures where they need to write down a lot of information. It takes some practice to learn all the symbols, but once you get the hang of it you can write really quickly and secretly!
