I was learning Gregg Shorthand at some point just for the fun of it and every time I brought it up people had no idea what I was on about.
I'm old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.
Wow. How old are you?
In my 60's. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990's. It's likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.
