Can you teach me shorthand?
<|assistant|>
Shorthand is an abbreviated system of writing that has been used since the 1500s to quickly communicate thoughts and ideas in texts and records. Generally, it is comprised of a combination of simple letter shapes, symbols and abbreviations to represent words or phrases and it is much faster than writing in full. There is no set way to learn shorthand and most people will learn shorthand on the job through practice and observation.
