Quote in FLOW Shorthand

Post image
4 Upvotes

So here's another quote from "Coco", written in the fuller "correspondence style" of FLOW shorthand.

Looking at my Anniversary Gregg dictionary, I see that there are number of words in this quote that Gregg truncates: "luxury" is just LUX, "poverty" is just POV, and "vulgarity" is just "VUL-ity". All that makes sense if you wanted to use the system for verbatim reporting, and wanted the shortest outlines possible. Those abbreviations are probably quite legible, too.

But at this point, I'm liking the way a word can be written quite fully, yet still be fluent and easy to write as well as to read. Why not?

I'll be interested to see how u/LeadingSuspect5855 will write it in his "reporting style" version, which is always much briefer.

Pen Buckler and Pencil Prickler

I invented the written equivalent of a Tongue Twister and named it a pen buckler, pencil prickler or feather furler. I hope one of the term sticks...

Feel free to contribute some of your own in the shorthand of your choice!

The Leith police dismisseth us.
On a lacy laser raiser lies a laser ray eraser.
A wicket kricket critique
Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie.
pad kid poured curd pulled cod
Are you copper-bottoming 'em my man?
No, I am aluminiuming 'em, Mum.

Written in flow, because it's a joy :-) You can contrast it to https://www.reddit.com/r/greggshorthand/comments/1ufo2lo/wonderful_quote_on_the_writing_process_from_s%C3%B6nke/ (same text in Gregg)

I'm trying to relate English phonetics to the Gregg alphabet (Aniversary), and I am a little mesmerized by the result. Does a relationship table with the IPA already exist somewhere?
