After reading this information sheet, students will be able to:
 Transcribe the longhand strokes by following the principle of S-Z-A, silent letter,
Principle of F, V, E, N, M, T, D
 Illustrate the punctuation and capitalization in shorthand
 Translate the longhand to shorthand strokes by following the principle of O, R, L, H, -ing.
Introduction to Foundation of Shorthand
Shorthand is an abbreviated symbolic writing method that increases speed and brevity of
writing as compared to longhand, a more common method of writing language. The process of writing in
shorthand is called stenography, from Greek stenos (narrow) and graphein (to write).
S and Z
The most frequently used consonant in English language is s, partly because of the great
plurals that ends with s.
The shorthand s is a tiny short downward curve that resembles the longhand comma in
shape.
A
A is very important sound in English language. In Gregg shorthand a is simply the longhand a
with the connecting stroke omitted.
The circle may maybe written in any direction.

Silent Letters
In English, there are many words containing letters that are not pronounced. In Gregg
shorthand, this silent letters are omitted; only the sounds that you hear are actually written.
Example: the word SAY would be written s-a (the Y would not be written because it is
not pronounced.
SAY, s-a
F
The shorthand stroke for f is a downward curve same shape as s, but it is very long
approximately half the height of the space between the lines of your shorthand notebook.
F
V
The shorthand stroke for v is also a downward curve the same shape as s and f, but is very
large approximately the full height of the space between the lines of your shorthand notebook.
Observe the difference in the size s of s, f, and v.
S F V
safe, s-a-f face, f-a-s safes, s-a-f-s
save, s-a-v vase, v-a-s saves, s-a-v-s

E
In shorthand, e is represented by a tiny circle. It is simply the longhand e with two
connecting strokes omitted.
Observe the difference between the sizes of a and e.
A E
N and M
The shorthand stroke for n is a very short forward straight line while the m is a forward
straight line.
N M
T and D
The shorthand stroke for t is short upward straight line while the stroke for d is a longer
upward straight line.
T D
H and –ing
The letter H is a dot placed above the following vowel. With few exceptions, H occurs at the
beginning of a word.
-ing, which almost occurs at the end of a word, is also represented by a dot
