	A Guide to Alternative Handwriting and Shorthand Systems
		Shorthand is a system of abbreviation in which only a bare outline of a word is written--just enough (note the middle line above) to allow you to later decipher from the word's outline and its context what the word is. Shorthand systems go for maximum speed at the expense of readability.
		Gregg Shorthand won out over Pitman Shorthand in America, and was widely taught in public schools as an essential skill needed by office workers to take dictation.
		Although Gregg Shorthand is nominally phonetic, in practice outlines sometimes follow the sound of a word, and sometimes its spelling.

		Shorthand used to be a standard course at the high-school level, but has disappeared with the advent of typewriters, portable tape recorders and dictation machines, and computers.
