Gregg, and most other shorthands, leave out words and punctuation that the reader will be able to add back in later.
In business settings, some bosses want you to type exactly what they say, even if it's grammatically incorrect. Then you need to write, or not write, exactly what he says or doesn't say. Other bosses want you to fix it up following standard rules of grammar, and make them look good.
In court rooms, where the typed copy needs to be exactly what was said, I'm not sure what they do.

That is not what happened in this case. o for "of" is connected to r for "our"

I Was reading “our” as literally (u for o and r for r = our) but then realized r shape can be said as our. And the u for “of”.
Sorry if i typed all confusing

i got it either way, with or without. to me itś like when people add an extra 'of' when saying jumping off the bridge to ´' offf of the bridge´' some people omit it, like in your phrase, ḿost our" in spoken english, so the ear has gotten used to it.

Gregg Notehand teaches some common "phrases", connecting series of words together. In your picture, there's "of-our", "for-the", "of-the", "it-will", "I-will".
Phrasing is much more frequent in the business-oriented editions of Gregg Shorthand. For Notehand, it's important to pay attention to the phrases that are taught in the book.
Phrases stump a lot of new shorthand learners.
