My economics and music teacher always wrote anything not for students in shorthand. It was her natural instinct, and had to actively think sometimes to correct herself. It was one of the most useful things she felt she learned in life. She gave me $300 after graduation when I met her at the library to give her an update on whats going on in my life. I don't think I've met a teacher that cared as much as she did. She always wanted a hug when old students saw her, and refuses to retire. I always make sure if I'm home to stop by to keep her updated on technology news and see what's going on in her life.
She's the only person to date that I have met that knows shorthand. She has an insane amount of crazy stories.
- rovr138 8y agoMy mom worked as a secretary and so did my grandma. They both know shorthand. When you’re saying something to them and they’re taking notes, it’s amazing how suddenly they’ll switch to shorthand even knowing that the notes are for you or for someone that doesn’t know it. Interesting at the doctors office or somewhere where we have to fill paperwork. Interestingly, they have a hard time understanding each other’s sometimes. There’s some basics that are fine, but each one has adds their own bit of style I guess which makes it harder. My moms signature is also weird. Her name has a g and she writes it weird because of something in shorthand. That g made faking her signature a pain. Then we learned teachers didn’t really notice.
