FREE Shorthand discussion
en
Many of us taking notes or writing journals look for a faster way to do it than regular handwriting. On this subreddit, I will display and discuss a wide variety of shorthand systems where this can be possible. I'll show the alphabet of each system and a sample of how it works in practice, commenting on how successful I think it is, and why or why not. See which one(s) you like! (NEW CONTENT is posted on Monday and Thursday -- but any messages will be responded to every day.)
Let's discuss our esoteric interest freely, without having some autocratic and overbearing moderator trying to stifle our free expression of opinions.
