Oh! I do shorthand too. I used to take dictation at 120 wpm. I did it as a job for a long time. When I went back to school, I could write my lecture notes verbatim.
I still use it for all my "notes," because I'm LAZY! It is just easier.
I used to write my Christmas list in shorthand and stick it to the refrigerator door with a magnet. I drove my kids crazy.
GREAT! (LOL) My husband and I take notes in Services, etc. and he always asks me later, "What did you get down" on something or other... Sometimes he just hands me paper/pen and says for me to take the notes.
:?
Ha!!! That's funny!! My boss always looks at me when any meeting starts getting to the "To Do" assignments. That means, start writing!! :-)
I never learned shorthand, because I wanted to be an engineer when I was in high school (and didn't want to learn any "girly" stuff like home ec - which I learned at home anyway). But years at a computer workstation writing code and later technical writing has given me a very fast typing speed - fast enough to take minutes at the PTA meeting with my laptop - I manage to catch everything that's said, as long as there is only ONE conversation going on at a time!
