	Wotton-under-Edge Sir Isaac Pitman was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire Head Master of the British School ...
		Pitman is quoted as having once said "I have no intention of becoming a shorthand author".
		In 1837 Isaac Pitman opened a private school at Wotton-under-Edge, and one of the subjects he taught his scholars was shorthand.
		A little later, quietly and without advertisement, the Pitman system was introduced to the world, and today it is the most widely used of all the systems of shorthand.

	London R.I.P » Secretarial skills
		The Pitman organisation had other colleges both in London and outside, but this was its flagship, housing its admin as well as classrooms for the likes of us.
		We learned shorthand (2000), office skills, which we thought we were far too clever to benefit from, and touch typing (on nightmare, hair-trigger electric machines).
		Strangely, shorthand and typing seems to be the basics in being a secretary, but at this point in my life when I no longer use my shorthand, I have found that the basic writing skill of the English Language is not common.

	Shorthand History
		Speedwriting was created in the 1970s but this combined alphabetical characters with symbols and so again not easy to learn and its popularity has waned over the years.
		Greggs, Teeline, Pitmans 2000 and Pitmans New Era have always been good although because of their use of symbols which means it can be written very quickly, the shorthand writers have always had to transcribe the shorthand into longhand and then type the longhand.
		So whilst there has always been a speed factor in the writing of it this has then been slowed down by the transcribing and typing of it.
