you may find young people studying Greg’s Shorthand along with entering typing contests.”
In one of my old scrapbooks my mom kept I found my typing award from 1955 - 70 wpm!!! I still find myself making notes in shorthand although, on occasion, I do have to stop and think about some of the characters for a minute. Hadn’t even heard anybody mention Gregg’s shorthand for many a year.
70wpm is quite good. Enough for a good job at that time. I have never gotten faster than 26 to 30 wpm mistake free. If typewriters become big again, I expect newer models will be a little quieter and more sensitive to touch. I still need a way to erase besides empting a bottle of white out every other day.
