	Efficient CSS with shorthand properties \| 456 Berea Street
		Shorthand properties can be used to set several properties at once, in a single declaration, instead of using a separate declaration for each individual property.
		Quite a few shorthand properties are available – for details I suggest the W3C CSS specifications of the background, border, border-color, border-style, border sides (border-top, border-right, border-bottom, border-left), border-width, font, list-style, margin, outline, and padding properties.
		One of the shorthands that I think is probably important (and you used it throughout the article, but made no reference to it) is that of the RGB identifiers.

	Simplified Spelling Society : Computer transliteration of shorthand. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Palantype machine shorthand [6] is a phonetically-based system in which groups of keys, representing a complete syllable, are pressed simultaneously to form a "chord." Words are represented by a number of chords, usually dependent on the number of stressed syllables within the word.
		In contrast, Pitman's shorthand [7] [8] is undoubtedly one of the most commonly used shorthand notations in the world.
		Pitman's shorthand in particular emphasises the importance of the consonant kernel, often at the expense of disregarding vowels and unstressed syllables altogether.

	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.
		Shorthand systems can become readible once you learn to sight read all the outlines or "brief forms," which can number in the thousands, but just learning the basic symbol set won't cut it.
		Shorthand systems based on alphabetic characters can always fall back on longhand where clarity is important or when you might forget what an abbreviation stands for, such as "RCWs" standing for "red-cockaded woodpeckers." The example above, unless transcribed soon, would likely become undecipherable.

	shorthand - NetLingo Internet Dictionary \| Online Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms, Acronyms & Text Messaging (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Shorthand can look like acronyms (by typing in all uppercase, for example BRB means "Be Right Back") or it can be a series of keys (typed in lowercase, for example :::poof::: means "I'm gone").
		The difference between acronyms and shorthand is that with acronyms, you pronouce the letters as a new word (for example, SNAFU is pronounced "sna-foo" and RADAR is pronounced "ray-dar").
		In contrast, shorthand pronounciations are always to say the letters one-by-one and not pronounce it as a word (for example, FYI is pronounced "F-Y-I" and GMTA is pronounced "G-M-T-A").
