TO SIMPLEX SHORTHAND
THE symbol shown above, a circle anda straight line, contains the
entire alphabet used in this book. That is why the system is called
Simplex. The alphabet is produced from this symbol as follows:

With the foregoing alphabet, which w i l l be explained in eight

lessons of about one hour each, you w i l l learn in one d a y a l l there is
to be learned about shorthand. The remainder of the effort is simply
practice, l i k e learning to type. Unlike any other system, it w i l l not
take a few years, but a few weeks, to become p r o f i c i e n t in t h i s system.
Here is why:
Simplex Shorthand requires no memorizing d r i l l s as in Gregg, or

use of phrase signs, or letters that assume different shapes in different
positions. It does not use light and heavy lines that veer in all
directions, and which only an a r t i s t can draw, as in Pitman. It does
not have to be written on, below or above the line; in fact, it can be
written on either lined or unlined paper. It does not require the use
of a machine, as in Stenotype. It does not use longhand instead of
shorthand characters, as in Speedwriting and other related systems.
One example may suffice to i l l u s t r a t e the i m p r a c t i c a b i l i t y of

??shorthand?' systems that use longhand characters. By the time the
longhand V ( 2% ), for example, is f i n i s h e d a full f i v e - l e t t e r nome
w i l l have been completed in Simplex. In this shorthand system, the
i n i t i a l hook 7 in the longhand C * represents E; the downstroke (

represents the letter D; the upstroke _ / represents G; the circle ©
stands for A; and the f i n a l f l o u r i s h ~ stands for R. When joined,

(thus: oO?). these five Simplex characters would spell out the name
EDGAR in f u l l , Obviously, shorthand characters are as many as
f i v e times briefer than the longhand characters of Speedwriting and

other systems that use the ordinary alphabet for ??shorthand.??
As to the standard shorthand systems, i t must be said that they

have been used more or fess s u c c e s s f u l l y , just as a n y t h i n g else
could be used more or less s u c c e s s f u l l y with u n l i m i t e d time and effort,
and u n l i m i t e d expense. But t o d t hae tyi m, e and effort required to learn

any of these systems is nolonger justified. The degree of proficiency
INTRODUCTION 3
reached in t w o o r three years of conventional shorthand training can

be reached in two or three days by means of, say, d i c t a t i n g machines,
as in fact most business and Government agencies are now using these
machines in increasing numbers.
In Simplex, however, the idea was to devise a shorthand system

the basics of which could be grasped in one day and which could be
applied to personal and business use w i t h i n o r e l a t i v e l y short period.
Besides, Simplex Shorthand does not require any kind of machine.
The speed obtainable from t h i s system ranges from the usual C i v i l
Service r e q u i r e m e n t of 80 words per minute, up to 120 words per
minute, although for personal and student use, and in the d i c t a t i o n
of most business letters, a speed of less than 80 words per minute
is adequate in most cases.
With m u l t i p l e rules, with the creation of a sign language, w i t h
joining abbreviated words into phrases, as practiced i n t h e

existing systems, a speed of over 120 words per minute, or evena
speed equal to theutterance of the fastest speaker, is also possible.
But w i t h today?s d i c t a t i n g devices and the demands imposed upon

the learner?s time by new technology, the many years of experience
necessary to reach verbatim speeds, or even the two or three years
necessary to reach moderate speeds w i t h existing shorthand systems,
are t o t a l l y u n j u s t i f i e d . Through the simple word-by-word method used

in t h i s book, you w i l l acquire in a very short time a c o m m a n d of
shorthand not derivable from any other system, and you w i l l be able
to use Simplex for all purposes except, perhaps, court reporting.
T h a t , too, as the author has done in many Government h e a r i n g s , can

be achieved with experience through t h i s system.
One more observation must be made on this very important matter

of speed. By s p e e d |, mean speed measured by all kinds of material
or d i c t a t i o n , rather than the speed derivable from exercises e s p e c i a l l y
4 SHORTHAND IN ONE DAY
prepared to fit the pre-arranged abbreviations and word signs of the

conventional textbooks. Quite frequently, a shorthand graduate who
had takennotes at more than 120 words per minute from pre-arranged
dictation finds he cannot pass even an 80-word per minute Civil

Service test. The difference, of course, is that in Civil Service tests
the dictation is not selected to fit the various shorthand textbooks.
It is selected for actual dictating situations in Government and in
business.
The pitfalls of the made-to-order exercise of the conventional

shorthand books have been entirely avoided in this book. The General
Exercise at the end of the eight lessons in this book was written by t h e
author, not because it fits best the abbreviations used in Simplex,
but because it covers most thoroughly every area of English speech.
The speeds which may be reached in taking down this exercise will
in all likelihood beexceeded in taking down, for example,a business
letter ora Civil Service examination, ata very highdegree of accuracy.
The General Exercise is divided into fourteen drills of two to three-
minute duration each, which is the usual length of a business letter
or a C i v i l Service examination for shorthand.
To f a c i l i t a t e further the use of this system, over 15,000 words

and names, c a r e f u l l y selected from several hundred books of verbatim
notations taken by the author, are listed with their equivalent
shorthand forms in the Shorthand D i c t i o n a r y following the General
Exercise.
In the f o l l o w i n g lessons, it is to be noted that the shorthand

forms are e n t i r e l y phonetic. In other words, they are based on the
sound of the word alone, without regard to the ordinary spelling of
any given word. T h i s is also the practice followed more or less
c l o s e l y in all shorthand systems. It saves time and space because

i t e l i m i n a t e s a l ! s i l e n t letters, which constitute over 7 percent of the
ordinary s p e l l i n g . Further, since the ear is much faster than the
memory, the writing of shorthand p h o n e t i c a l l y adds greatly to speed.
INTRODUCTION 5
The d i a c r i t i c a l marks under or above the characters in this

system are u s u a l l y omitted in actual shorthand w r i t i n g . They are,
however, shown f u l l y in Lesson One through Lesson F i v e to f a c i l i t a t e
learning the basics of t h i s system. In LessonS i x , d i a c r i t i c a l marks
are eliminated in preparation for other abbreviating principles and for
the d r i l l s in the General Exercise.
Punctuation marksin this system are similar to punctuation marks

in longhand, except that the hyphen is written thus: = ,and the dash
is written t h u s : ? . Again, punctuction marks, except the p e r i o d , are
not always used in actual shorthand writing, since they are in most
cases understood. Capitalized words are indicated by a downstroke
( ~ ) placed under the shorthand form, as in Bob ? a o But this,

too, is used only when necessary, as for rare names.
LESSON ONE
FORWARD STROKES
P B R L TH #H
~ ~ V ~ ?
1. D i s t i n g u i s h i n g vowels from consonants. The vowels in Simplex,
as w i l l be shown later, are indicated by c i r c l e s and s e m i - c i r c l e s .

The consonants are indicated by curves and straight lines. Of these
curves and s t r a i g h t lines, the sounds p ~ v . , b > ?,
r w , l ~ ,
th ? ond h ? ? constitute the forward strokes in this system. They

form a common line to produce a natural longhand-like motion in
writing.
2. Selection of the forward strokes. L i k e all other characters

in Simplex, the forward strokes were selected on the basis of their
relationship to one another and to the rest of the alphabet. For
example, straight lines are not joincble to one another when written
in the same direction. For this reason, straight lines were selected
for t h ? and h ? - because these sounds seldom f o l l o w one another
in E n g l i s h . On the other hand, the remainder of the forward strokes,

p r , bes, r o a n d I ~ , f o l l o w one another frequently in E n g l i s h ,
and they are expressed here by curves because curves are joinable
to oneanother. Moreover, since p r - ~ / , b r - ? ~ , pl ~ ~ and b l - - ~
are highly frequent pairs in the language, the shorthand symbols for
these letters have been so selected as to blend n a t u r a l l y together i n
writing without the formation of an angle. Thus: pray ? ,
brave ? ~ _ ¢ 7 p l a y ~ _ 4 , b l u e - ? ? z and other exomples. It w i l l be

noted that the p h o n e t i c a l l y related p and b, and similar p a i r s , a r e
differentiated in shorthand by their relative length. There are only
two relative lengths in Simplex, short and longer.

3. P a n d B. The f i r s t pair of phonetically related sounds are p

and b, The forward c l o c k w i s e curve ?S represents p a s in p a t ? ? .
The larger curve ?NS represents b a s in b a t ¢

~ . In r e l a t i o n to
other characters, p ?~ and b < ~ are written thus:

Earl sharp pray play earth else art slow true
draw urge shrill ark cry free ray lay are
Lee ill pull arm _? self

2
It is to be noted that, when no d i s t i n c t anglecan be formed in joining

a forward stroke to another letter struck upward, as in arm %%~and
self , just mentioned, such letters are disjoined and placed
one under the other to make them p l a i n l y legible. D i s j o i n i n g letters
that do not f o r m a clear angle is one of the distinguishing features
of Simplex Shorthand.
5. TH and H. The forward straight line ? represents the sonant

th heard in that ? 7 as w e l l a s the surd th heard in thought?7> .
The longer line ? ? represents h asin hat ? 7 ? . In relation to other

characters, th ? and h ? ? are written thus:

depth width three ? through
br. fo F ~
LESSON TWO
UPWARD STROKES
f e

6. Description. The upward strokes are written upward a n d

away from a horizontal line < 7 . They r e p r e s e n t n @ , m / ~ ,
k y ,g-?% f = ond v e .
7. Blended upstrokes. As stated in Lesson One, parallel! lines,

including lines written upward, cannot be joined together. Therefore,
straight lines were selected for { % and v - ~ ~ because these sounds
seldom follow one another in English. On the other hand, the
remainder of the upward strokes, n @ , n f k w andg_/,
f o l l o w one another frequently in E n g l i s h , and are expressed here

by curves because curves can be joined to one another and to other
characters as w e l l . Moreover, since n s / ) , m s ) , nk - 4 , and

ng 2 are highly frequent pairs in E n g l i s h , the curves for these
pairs have been so selected as to blend naturally together without

the formation of an angle. Thus: dance oO , dams 2 , thank <<,
s o n g ? . Again, it is to be noted that n f and n m ? , a n d k
and g _ _ / in these and similar examples are d i f f e r e n t i a t e d by their

relative length.
8. N o n d M. The upward c l o c k w i s e c u r v e Oy represents the n

in not ? P . The longer curve ? represents the m in m a t / ? .
In relation to other characters, n / ~ and m / are written thus:
since inch bank mo new on in end month earn
Y Y C R O T T 7 f C Ay
8
LESSON TWO 9
As mentioned in Lesson One, the upward strokes do not form a c l e o r
angle when joined to forward strokes in certain p o s i t i o n s , as in

month - e / ? and earn 2 , just mentioned. The characters in
such infrequent examples have been disjoined and written one under
the other to make them more legible.
9. KandG. The upward counterclockwise curve 3 represents
the surd k sound commonly indicated in the ordinary spelling by k

in kin , b y c i n cot , by ckin b a c k - ? 2 ? , by chin school p A ? r
by q in q u i l l _ ~ 2 _ ? and by the first element of the x in ax a 4 . The

longer curve _ / represents the corresponding sonant g heard in
got and the first element of the x in exam
a f - In relation to
other characters, k and g __/are written thus:
glad great crate acme pocks bags pact action
Kay key coo ark ink sing ask
F a w w r y y
10. F a n d ¥. The upward straight line Z represents the surd
f indicated in t h e ordinary spelling by f in f o t _ ? , by p h i n phone Z O

and by gh in laoughw_w? . The longer line - - ~ represents the
corresponding scnant v indicated in the ordinary s p e l l i n g by v in
v a t _ - ¢ , by f in of 3 a n d by ph in Stephen 2 7 . In relation to
.

other characters, f - ? and v . ? ? a r e written thus:

LESSON THREE
DOWNWARD STROKES
S$
Z T D SH ZH CH J
ll. Description. The downward strokes, struck ?down s l i g h t l y
away f r o m a vertical line in a natural longhand motion, represent

s yt z / , t ( , d (sh [ z h ] , c h | ond i | . The downstrokes, except
parallel lines, are characterized by the fact that they can be joined
to one another and to ali other characters in this system.
12. Blended downstrokes. Asn o t e d in Lesson One, parallel lines,

including lines struck downward, cannot be joined together. Therefore,
straight lines were selected for sh pe zh iP ch | and i l , because
these sounds seldom follow one another in E n g l i s h . On the other

hand, the other downstrokes, s y , z D t and d ( f o l l o w one another
frequently in speechand are expressed by curves, because curves are

readily jotnable to one another and to other characters. Moreover,
since t r C , d r C , p s ) , b s ? 2,
ns7?, m s / 2 ts{?ands t S t o r e
highly frequent pairs in E n g l i s h , the downward curves have been so

selected as to form these pairs in one motion, without the formation
of an angle. Thus: true Ga , drew GC

LESSON FOUR
CIRCLES
AW AY OO
0
° ° ° oO
°
V7. Description. The circle is the most valuable symbol in
shorthand. It blends naturally with other symbols and makes writing

eosy and effortless. In Simplex, only the round form of the circle
is used. There are no oval loops, no c i r c l e s w i t h i n c i r c l e s or any
other circular shapes to produce confusion. The smaller c i r c l e o

stands for the a sounds. The larger c i r c l e O
stands for the o sounds.
18. Selection of vowels for the c i r c l e . Although its shape makes
i t a v a l u a b l e shorthand symbol, the c i r c l e i s n o t adaptable for joining

with other circles. Therefore, the c i r c l e has been assigned to those
Jetters which rarely follow one another in E n g l i s h , namely, the a and
the o sounds. In a few instances, where the a and the o sounds
f o l l o w one another, the c i r c l e s for these vowels are disjoined and
placed one under the other. Thus: chaos oF . c o o p e r a t e s .
92 O e
19. Joining the c i r c l e to straight lines. When straight lines
converge at on angle, the c i r c l e is written outside the angle. Thus:
father 2 - < ,c h a t t L . In all other p o s i t i o n s in relation to the
straight line, the circle is written clockwise. Thus oath o > ,
t h o u g h ? = , ,f a v o r 5
20. Joining the c i r c l e to curves. When a d j o i n i n g curves, or

when occurring between a curve and a straight line, the c i r c l e is
written inside the f i r s t curve it adjoins. Thus:
13

E E gt ge L
Thedirection of the circle is indicated hereonly to facilitate writing.
Any way the circle is written, the vowels it represents do not
change in Simplex, and no confusion can possibly arise in writing
the circle in any direction.
21. A a s in A T . The smaller c i r c l e o represents the y i n

sound indicated in the ordinary spelling by a as in a t , b e a t £ ,
man 6 ,
hat ? 7 % . The joining of the c i r c u l a r vowels, including
this ?flat? a sound, is explained in Sections 18, 19 and 20.
22. AWasinLAW. The smaller circle w i t h dot 9 represents
the ?broad? a sound i n d i c a t e d in the ordinary spelling by @

in
father 2 , a t 7 , watt f , by a v i n laud 7 , by aw in
l a w » . The dot, like all d i a c r i t i c a ! marks in t h i s system, may

be placed below or above the c i r c l e , whichever position appears
more c o n v e n i e n t in any given word. In actual shorthand w r i t i n g ,
however, d i a c r i t i c a l marks are usually omitted, as wil! be explained
in Lesson Six. The joining of c i r c u l a r vowels, including this aw
sound, is explained in Sections 18, 19 and 20.
23. AW in diphthongs. The sound aw forms the first element of
the diphthong represented by ow in cow and the ou in house. It also

forms the first element of another diphthong, the ??long?? i in i s l e
and the y in by. Therefore, these diphthongs ore written in Simplex
in a c c o r d a n c e with their basic sounds, n a m e l y , € for the ow in
cow_g a n d t h e ov in h o u s ¥
e , and g for the ??long?? i
in
i s l e ¢ 2 _ _ and the y in b y , .

24. AY a s i n PLAY. The smaller circle with accent mark °

25. O a s in ODD. The larger circle O represents the so-called

short o sound heard in odd ( i b e , Bob z = ,
broad cough ? ~ ~ . This symbol © is joined like other
circular symbols, as explained in Sections 18, 19 and 20.
26. G a s in ODE. The larger circle with dot © represents the

27. Description. The s e m i - c i r c l e or hook is a useful shorthand
character, like the c i r c l e , in that it can be e a s i l y joined t o o t h e r

characters. In addition, it can be joined to o t h e r s e m i - c i r c l e s ,
w h i l e the c i r c l e c a n n o t be joined to other c i r c l e s . Written
clockwise 7 , the semi-circle represents the e a n d r e l a t e d sounds.
Written counterclockwise © , the semi-circle represents the u and

related sounds.
28. Joining the c l o c k w i s e hook. |n relation to the forward strokes,
the c l o c k w i s e hook 9 i s j o i n e d t h u s : 2 . - - + 9 7 2 @ - U , 2 a . - 5 . In
relation to the upward strokes, it is written thus: V V ? 4 o n ? ?

I n r e l a t i o n to the downward strokes, i t i s written thus: 9 2 7 6 7 4
In relation to the circle, it is written thus: 3 og? - I n r e l a t i o n to
other hooks, it is written thus: 2 o9 e
29. Joining the c o u n t e r c l o c k w i s e hook. To forward strokes, the
counterclockwise hook © i s j o i n e d t h u s : e ~ ? e a -e c_
To upward strokes, i t i s joined thus: 7 % e 4 , , T o downward
strokes, it is joined thus: Y 2 ¥ O 4 U L . To c i r c l e s , tt is joined
t h s e ? 4 . To other hooks, it is joined thus: ¢ 7 - z
30. Joining the hook b e t w e e n characters. When occurring
between two characters, the hook, c l o c k w i s e a s well as

counterclockwise © , i s u s u a l l y joined to other characters by one or
two sharp angles. Thus: l e s s - J , pen-?>7; fun_2 In some
16
LESSON F I V E 7
words, the hook, when occurring between two letters, could be

written w i t h or without an angle. Thus: reach 7 o F ; fetch??
or 7 ; West o o r i tube f o r ON «
In these and similar
examples, the form w i t h the angle is preferred b e c a u s e it is the
more legible form. I n a few other words, s t i l l , due to the formation
of the adjoining letters, an angle is not formed. Thus: get i

sub ) ? ; town &
31. E o s in END. The c l o c k w i s e semi-circle or h o o k a

r e p r e s e n t s the short e sound heard in end , friend A e ,
s e i d ? , head P o n d other examples. The joining of this hook to

other i
letters is described in Sections 28 and 30.
32. E a s in T O K E N . The c l o c k w i s e h o o k % also represents

the so-called obscure e sound into which most vowels are reduced in
unaccented s y l l a b l e s , a s t h e e i n t o k e n G / ? , t h e o i n ransom a
and the vu
in forum 2 7 . T h e r e f o r e , the clockwise hook 7 ,
which represents the e , i s assigned to these vowels when they occur

between consonants, as in the three examples just mentioned. When
unaccented vowels occur at word beginnings or endings, they are
indicated by the shorthand equivalent of those vowels, to conform

with t h e i r more deliberate p r o n u n c i a t i o n . Thus: afraid o v ,
sofa gx , Upone-7y . For a complete guide to the pronunciation

of these and other vowels, refer to the author's D i c t i o n a r y of
Pronunciation.
33. Eas in EVE. The c l o c k w i s e hook with accent mark 9

represents the long & sound indicated in the ordinary spelling by
?
e in E v e > ~ by ea in b e a m . - ? y y b~ y, ee in f e e t ? , by i in
7 a
machine ? - and by other letters. The accent mark, which is
usually omitted to gain speed, may he written below or above the
hook, whichever position appears more convenient in any given

word. The rules that apply to the joining of the clockwise hook, as
explained in Sections 28 and 30, also apply to the joining of the
long é
34. l a s i n IF. The clockwise hook with d o 2t represents the

short i sound indicated in the ordinary spelling byi in i f , by y
in happy?-o-» , by u in busy?7 and by other letters. The rules
thot apply to the joining of the c l o c k w i s e hook, as explained in
Sections 28 and 30, also apply to this short i 7 .
35. The short | to indicate Y sound. The s h o rit is also used

without dot 7 to indicate the y sound, o semi-vowel, represented in
the ordinary spelling by y in y a r d ? 7 , by i in Daniel b r , by the
first element of the u in use % and by the second element of the y
intry G r , the i i n ice 4 , the oy in boy??zp and the oi in join 4 .

37. Homonyms. |t will be noted in the preceding exercise that
sea and see are written alike in shorthand, because they are
pronounced alike. The meaning of these and other homonyms is
easily determined by the adjoining words in any given sentence, cs
it is in fact determined in actual speech.
LESSON F I V E 19
38. Heteronyms. Not only does shorthand have no e f f e c t o n the

d i s t i n c t i o n of homonyms, but it makes for d i s t i n c t i o n where it is
rightly needed, namely, in the spelling of heteronyms, or words of
like spelling but unlike pronunciation and meaning. In the ordinary
spelling, to give but one example, the word r-o-w is thus written
to indicate ??a fight,? a s w e l l as toi n d i c a t e ??a line.?? Shorthand, on
the other hand, by a l l o c a t i n g a different s p e l l i n g to each of the two

meanings, to conform with the two d i f f e r e n t pronunciations
( t h u s : ? @ for the first r-o-w, a n d \ 2 f o r t h e second r-o-w),
eliminates in these and in the many hundreds of English heteronyms
a real source of confusion.
39. U a s in P U L L . The counterclockwise hook © represents

the short u sound indicated in the ordinary spelling by u in pull ~ * ~ ? ,
by ou in could , by 00 in foot 4 . by the second element of

the u in unite and by other letters. Although not p h o n e t i c a l l y
related to the u in fun, the c o u n t e r c l o c k w i s e hook © also
represents the u in fun . ¢ b e c a u s e no confusion can p o s s i b l y arise
therefrom. The joining of the counterclockwise hook g to other
letters is explained in Sections 29 and 30.
40. The short U to indicate W sound. The s h o r t u c is also
used to represent the w sound, a ?semi-vowel, i n d i c a t e d in t h e
ordinary spelling by w in watt ¢ a n d by u in quart_??7 . The short
uc, again, is used for the second element of the diphthongs in
cow_g and in h o u s e ? ¥ .
4). Uas in R U L E . The c o u n t e r c l o c k w i s e hook w i t h dot ¢
represents the long & sound indicated in the ordinary spelling by u in
rule ~ ~ ~ , by ew in b r e w - ? ~ « , by 00 i n f o o d , by the
second element of the u in unit / G by eu in rheum by t h e o i n

move ? 2 , by oe in shoe ?/ , by ou in tour ? a n d by other
letters. The rules that apply tot h e joining of the c o u n t e r c l o c k w i s e
hook, as explained in S e c t i o n2 s9 and 3 0 , also a p p l y to the joining of

the l o n g o .
42. Omission o f t h e Y element in the short and Jong U. As shown
in Sections 39 and 41, the short vu

© constitutes the second element
o f the u in u n i t e / @ andthe long G& c o n s t i t u tteh se second element
of the u in u n i t 2 ~ y " , w h i l e the f i r s t element in these and similar
examples i s a y. Since t h i s c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of the u is understood
anyway, the y element is omitted, as it is in fact omitted in the
ordinary s p e l l i n g . Thus: unite is written ve? unit is written ? 7 .
However, the y element may be shown in some words to d i f f e r e n t i a t e
between certain pronunciations, as inf e u d < 7 , to d i f f e r e n t i a t e it
from food T , or to make the shorthand form clearer as in youth a~-.

LESSON SIX
OMISSION OF D I A C R I T I C A L MARKS
44. D i a c r i t i c a l marks. Up to t h i s point, all the examples have

been shown letter for letter, with dots or accent marks to d i f f e r e n t i a t e
precisely between certain related sounds, as the short e 2 in
end 7 and the long € 77 in Eve This was necessary to
provide the groundwork on which more advanced lessons could be
based. In Simplex, as in all shorthand systems, these d i a c r i t i c a l
marks are u s u a l l y omitted and the exact pronunciation is determined
by the r e l a t i o n s h i p of one letter to another and to the sentence as a

whole. T h i s is also common in longhand, where we don o t d i f f e r e n t i a t e ,
for example, between the f i r s t e in even, which is long, and the
second e in the same word, which is short. Even with the omission
of the d i a c r i t i c a l marks, we would s t i l l have in shorthand o more

precise guideline to figure out the exact pronunciation, because in
longhand, as we have seen in the preceding lessons, some letters
assume several different sounds i n d i f f e r e n t words, while in shorthand
only a few characters, generally vowels, assume more than one

sound by the omission of the d i a c r i t i c a l marks. Thus, in Simplex,
the word law may be w r i t t e n \ ? ? or ~ 4 ; play may be written ? ~ _ p
or-?~_p ; Eve may be written Y O ? f i i f o o r 5 ? ; rule w e

OF V e a } fot or ,
45. E x c e p t i o n s to the omission of d i a c r i t i c a l marks. In a few

examples, the omission of the dot or accent mark would produce
dual meanings. For example, ode ( : with the dot omitted, would
read odd ( in Simplex. In such words, when necessary, the exact
pronunciation may be indicated by showing the d i a c r i t i c a l mark, in
21
t h i s case the dot. The d i a c r i t i c a l marks may also be used in a
number of so-called book words, as in cum laude / ,

per s e v e 4 , finesse 7 . With practice, however, even s t c h
words could be reduced into brief forms, without d i a c r i t i c a l marks.
46. E x e r c i s e on the omission of d i a c r i t i c a l marks. We shall
illustrate here the omission of d i a c r i t i c a l marks by using as an

example the opening sentence to the General E x e r c i s e at the end of
these lessons. First, the example is shown w i t h d i a c r i t i c a l marks:
The land is lush and the mountains are high, and in
a g m a t e e n s
some plices, still covered with? snow, while bothers
within a short driving distance bask in brilliant sunshine.

22? by G r e hy Y r e r t Va.
The same exercise, without d i a c r i t i c a l marks, would read:
The land is tush and the mountains are high, and in
some places still covered with snow, while bathers

a ~ F 4 L a 7 t2- yo, V r
within a short driving distance bask in b r i l l i a n t sunshine.

LESSON SEVEN
OMISSION OF CERTAIN SHORT VOWELS
47. Omission of vowels. The omission of vowels to gain speed

is governed by several different rules in the different systems.
Here, only one rule a p p l i e s , namely, the dropping of short vowels
occurring between consonants. For example, under this principle,
the word get would be written g t ; give would be written v o
letter would be written I t eCT ; open would be written o p n a V
;
total would become totl é . As it can be seen, the desired word
is e a s i l y determined by the insertion of the missing short vowel

sound between the consonants and by a s s o c i a t i n g the abbreviated
word to the sentence a s a whole. Although seemingly unusual at
f i r s t , the practice of dropping medial short vowels becomes in time
a second habit because it affords shorter and clearer outlines,
beside adding to speed. Of course, the shorthand forms may be
written in f u l l , including the medial short vowels, depending on
one?s requirement for speed.
48. Advantage of omitting only certain vowels. As indicated at

the beginning of this lesson, there are several different rules in the
different systems for the omission of vowels. Under these rules,
vowels are dropped at word beginnings, at word endings, medially

and in any o r a l l positions. Sometimes, the short vowels are dropped;
sometimes, the long vowels are dropped; at other times, s t i l l , both
short and long vowels are dropped. The result i s a sign language
in one form or another, rather than a phonetic system of w r i t i n g , as

all shorthand systems are supposed to be. In Simplex, only the short
vowels occurring between consonants are omitted, as mentioned
earlier. These vowels are the e 7 heard in ten and token, the i a
heard in h i t and the u ¢ heard in pull and fun.
23
49. Which short vowels not to drop. Short vowels are invariably
written when they occur i n i t i a l l y , os the u in under T f i n a l l y as
the y in h a p p y _ _ . , a n d when the short vowels a d j o i w
n sound as in
win i y , o r y sound as in yet 7 . A l s o retained are all vowels,
short or long, which f o l l o w one another. Thus: poet ?27 ,

lower. 9 a , r e a l m a _ , mayor ? 7 .
50. The long vowels in E n g l i s h . Long vowels are a l w a y s written
in Simplex in all positions. In E n g l i s h , the long vowels are the a
in at ( , the aw in l a w s , t h e ay in p l a y ~ ? + , the é in Eve ~ ~ '

the o in odd (C , the 6 in ode ( a n d the & i n r u l e ? ? . Contrary
to the interpretation of conventional textbooks, and as explained at

length at the opening to the author's D i c t i o n a r y of Pronunciation,
the so-called short a in at is a c t u a l l y a long vowel, equal in duration
to the long a in fate and the long ay in play. The so-called short o
in odd is also a long vowel, equal in duration to the long 6 in ode.
Both the a in at and the 0 in odd were called ??short?? vowels by the
early grammarians simply to differentiate them from other a and o
sounds, and the practice has been followed to this day. Therefore,
as long vowels, the a in at and the o in odd ore always written in
Simplex Shorthand in all positions. They hove no c o r r e l a t i v e short
sounds in E n g l i s h .
51. Retention of short vowels and d i a c r i t i c a l marks. In a number
of words, it may be necessary to indicate the exact pronunciation

by the retention of all short vowels as well as d i a c r i t i c a l marks.
T h i s may be e s p e c i a l l y necessary in u n f a m i l i a r names, as in
Beirut P y and book words, m e n t i o n e d elsewhere, as in
finesse 7 .
52. Exercise on the omission of certain short vowels. The
f o l l o w i n g l i s t was taken at random from the General E x e r c i s e at the

LESSON SEVEN 25
end of these lessons to i l l u s t r a t e the ease in w h i c h any word, minus
the short vowel sounds occurring medially, could be identified.

L e t t e r s crossed out indicate the omitted short vowels, as well os
the s i l e n t letters, which are omitted in shorthand in all p o s i t i o n s :

A l l told, over 28 percent of the letters in the above exercise are

either s i l e n t or represent medial short vowels which have been
crossed out and omitted in the shorthand form, without apparent
loss of the identity of any given word,
53. Example on the omission of media! short vowels. The

opening sentence to the General Exercise is again given as an
example, this time on the omission of both the medial short vowels
and the d i a c r i t i c a l marks. Here, too, letters crossed out indicate

characters which have been omitted in the shorthand forms. The

LESSON EIGHT
SHORT FORMS
54. Short forms for frequent words. The a b b r e v i a t i o n of

frequent words is one of the most common means for gaining speed
in shorthand. Of the hundreds of thousands of words in the E n g l i s h
language, about five hundred words constitute the major percentage

in terms of relative frequency in actual! speech and w r i t i n O
g .f these
f i v e hundred w o r d s , only a few dozen require abbreviation in Simplex.
For s i m p l i f i c a t i o n , abbreviated as well os unabbreviated terms are
written word for word, and not joined into unreadable phrases, as
in other systems. After some practice, the learner may e a s i l y add
his own abbreviations to fit any particular need. The abbreviated
words are:

55. ?Suggestive? short forms. In the preceding lis t , the
abbreviated forms usually represent the i n i t i a l outline of very

frequent words. This outline does not a l w a y s suggest the sound
of any given word, because in many cases only one letter is given
for the abbreviated form. in the f o l l o w i n g section are listed many

frequent words, and less frequent words, whose abbreviated form
readily suggests the complete word. For example, in speech, when
you hear the word special, you recognize the word long before the
last s y l l a l b e is uttered. And so w i t h words like appreciate, associate,
c e r t i f i c a t e , graduate, o r i g i n a l , privilege, etc. In a number of words,

the suggestive form has in fact become the common form in everyday
speech and in writing. For example, we hear lab for laboratory,
Doc for Doctor, exam for examination, math for mathematics, mike
for microphone, ond so on. The suggestive form, consequently,
represents one of the most important abbreviating principles in
shorthand.
56. L i s t of suggestive forms. The following l i s t contains but

a few of the suggestive forms. The parentheses indicate that part
of the word which has been eliminated in the shorthand form. The
examples may be abbreviated, as illustrated, or written in f u l l , if

preferred. Diacritical morks, s i l e n t letters and medial short
vowels have also been omitted from the shorthand forms. The l i s t

57. Short forms for prefixes. Prefixes (ex-, con-, pro-, etc.)
constitute another important source for providing the ??short?? in
shorthand. In Simplex, only prefixes are abbreviated, because the
LESSON EIGHT 33
abbreviation of suffixes ( - f u l , - f u l l y , -ment, etc.) is s u f f i c i e n t l y
taken careo f by the suggestive abbreviating p r i n c i p l e s described i n the

preceding section. Even in regard to prefixes, only the most
common prefixes are here abbreviated. Moreover, all abbreviated

prefixes are disjoined from, and placed above, the root to make
them simpler. The prefixes are abbreviated as follows:
AW (©) for OUT-, as in outbreak outcome outdoors outline

O w UO g r ES

58. Detaching endings from abbreviated forms. When a plural
form, suffix, present or past tense and other endings are affixed to
abbreviated forms, such endings are detached and placed under the
abbreviated root. For example, lab ~ - ? ~ ~ is in Simplex the
abbreviated form for laboratory. To write laboratories, o s i b i l a n t
s (actually sounded l i k e z) is added, disjoined, thus: ? .
Again, gv _ » ~ isthe abbreviated form for govern. To write

governed, a disjoined d is added 7 . To write governor, a
disjoined r i s added _ / < C .
To write government, the suggestive
mn is added - " . And so with similar examples. In many
words, however, endings need not even be indicated in writing
LESSON E I G H T 41
because the existence of s u c h e n d i n g s isunderstood by t h e a d j o i n i n g

words and the sentence a s a whole.
59. D i s j o i n i n g compounds. A number of compounded words may
be written more l e g i b l y if disjoined. For example, the word moreover

would be more legible if written ? Z y ~; cannot, under t h i s principle,
would r e a d _ ~ - ; notwithstanding would read e x 2 n e w s p a p e r e i

s c h o o l p h ro u s??G_

60. D i s j o i n i n g one-way words. In very few words, because of

their outlines, the line of d i r e c t i o n tends to move c o n t i n u a l l y one
way, forward as in purple ~ . _ . _ , upward as in incoming ,
or downward as in studied /.
Such words may be disjoined at any
point, with one part written €lose to the other, to f a c i l i t a t e writing.
Thus: purple ? < _ L ; incoming e t ; studied { >
61. The f i n a l look in Simplex. By the a p p l i c a t i o n of the

p r i n c i p l e s outlined in the preceding eight lessons, the opening
sentence to the General E x e r c i s e would look like this:
The land is lush and the mountains are high, and in

It will be noted in the foregoing exercise that diacritical marks and

silent letters have been omitted from the shorthand forms under the
principles outlined in Lesson Six, and the vowels occurring medially
hove been omitted under the principles outlined in Lesson Seven.
Abbreviations are made according to Lesson Eight.
NOTES ON THE GENERAL EXERCISE
T h i s exercise is from an a r t i c l e entitled Native?s Return, written

by the author on o t r i p to the Middle East. It is conveniently divided
into fourteen d r i l l s , each d r i l l representing the usual length of o C i v i l
Service examination for shorthand. As stated in the Introduction, the
usual speed for C i v i l Service tests is eighty words per minute, although
greatly higher speeds are obtainable through t h i s system w i t h continued
practiceand experience. For personal use and most business letters,
however, a speed of less than eighty words per minute is the usual pace.
Each d r i l l is identified by a number and the number of words it

contains. Altogether,the fourteen d r i l l s contain nearly three thousand
words and names covering every imaginable situation in actual speech
and dictation.
Any one d r i l l may be repeated over and over again, from a half
hour of practice daily to any length of time, until the desired p r o f i c i e n c y
is attained, f i r s t in the d r i l l s i n d i v i d u a l l y and f i n a l l y in the entire
exercise. The exercise is adapted for both self instruction and
classroom use.
It will be noted that punctuation marks are used in the exercise

only to facilitate study. Except for the period and an occasional
comma, punctuation marks are usually dropped in shorthand writing.
A l s o , diacritical marks and short vowels occurring medially are used
only in rare instances for simplification.
To f a c i l i t a t e further the use of the e x e r c i s ei ,t i s recommended

that the f o l l o w i n g names, which appear in the exercise, be studied and
practiced before proceeding with the d r i l l s . Names, especially,
provide an e f f e c t i v e means for grasping the phonetic idea in shorthand.
In t h i s exercise, they also i l l u s t r a t e the ease and accuracy in which
any name or word can be written in Simplex Shorthand.

negotiating with the B r i t i s h over the

s t i l l o n the international news wires.
Since | learned that evening that
Annis Bey held large apple i n t e r e s t s
in L e b a n o n , |
asked him if the
negotiations were successful. He
said No. But if what he said about
Lebanese apples was t r u e|, felt the
B r i t i s h were being offered a real
bargain.
Annis Bey was soamazed at my
own e n t h u s i a s m over Lebanese
apples that he let me in o n a real
secret. These apples, he said, were
grown from a California variety.
Once on Lebanese soil, the f r u i t

to this day.
At t h i s point, Annis Bey and the
Government deputy left the party,
but not before the deputy had made
arrangements with his chauffeur to
take me to the Mountains of Lebanon
on the f o l l o w i n g morning. D u r i n g a l l
this time, my other host, the
Lebanese merchant at whose home
we were spending the evening, had

The merchant, a well-tailored

war. Seeing that | was especially k d ~ © w p ,
interested in one of his accounts, 7m 2 1 eo a h )
the revolt in the desert against the
Turks, he paused and wanted to
bring up one particular event in
connection with that revolt.
D r i l l 6 (188 w o r d s )
When Gamal Pasha in 1915
assumed the command of the T u r k i s h
armed forces, one of the delegations
that came to congratulate h i m a t his
headquarters in Damascus, Syria,
was headed by Faisal, son of the

54 SHOR THAND IN ONE DAY
Governor of Mecca. F a i s a l was i o 7 7 O B
accompanied by his bodyguards and L Va ? eo
his aides, among whom was a youth

? f ( l e e e
wearing Arab c l o t h e s and speaking B e o O + f oO
Arabic, but with blue eyes and a
face that looked pale by d e s e r t
standards.
A t a banquet which Gamal Pasha
had arranged one evening in honor
of the delegation from Mecca, who
were then supposedly loyal subjects
of the T u r k i s h Government, the word
had gotten around to some members
of the party, including my host,
that the sly commander had marked
the blue-eyed youth as an agent of
the B r i t i s h and had directed his
m i l i t a r y aide to arrest him. With
this leak, which the military aide

had let out for unknown reasons,
the blue-eyed youth was secretly
taken away by Foisal?s warriors,
and the youth was o n h i s way to lead
the revolt that changed the course
of the war in the desert. His name
was Lawrence of Arabia.
When my host, on a buying trip L K B ) G o - T o ,
to northern S y r i a , met Lawrence

GENERAL EXERCISE
We entered the country of the
Druse, the rugged mountain people,
at Hamdoun. This v i l l a g e was a
cluster of w h i t e stone houses
clinging to the h i l l like a g i a n t
staircase, with rising terraces of
apple and peach orchards, spreading
mulberry trees and sheep and
cattle grazing in emerald fields.
Cherry blossoms in full bloom
stretched for miles all over the
countryside. A more beautiful view
|
h a d never seen. It was like a
movie from L o s t Horizon.
Here, Abu Z a i d was at his best.
| knew he wos about to make an
important announcement every time
he rubbed his trim black mustache.
?This is Druse country,? he said,

spreading out his arms and talking

T l a r e
as i f he owned it. He wos so intent

w o u l d only ask. He described a
nearby v i l l a g e where his uncle lived.
He described another v i l l a g e where
his cousins l i v e d , and another
place where, he said, his nephews
produced the w o rb e ls tmolasses.

Simplex Shorthand requires no memorizing d r i l l s as in Gregg, or

One example may suffice to i l l u s t r a t e the i m p r a c t i c a b i l i t y of

i n i t i a l hook 7 in the longhand C * represents E; the downstroke (

stands for A; and the f i n a l f l o u r i s h ~ stands for R. When joined,

f i v e times briefer than the longhand characters of Speedwriting and

As to the standard shorthand systems, i t must be said that they

and u n l i m i t e d expense. But t o d t hae tyi m, e and effort required to learn

reached in t w o o r three years of conventional shorthand training can

In Simplex, however, the idea was to devise a shorthand system

is adequate in most cases.

With m u l t i p l e rules, with the creation of a sign language, w i t h

joining abbreviated words into phrases, as practiced i n t h e

But w i t h today?s d i c t a t i n g devices and the demands imposed upon

are t o t a l l y u n j u s t i f i e d . Through the simple word-by-word method used

T h a t , too, as the author has done in many Government h e a r i n g s , can

In the f o l l o w i n g lessons, it is to be noted that the shorthand

The d i a c r i t i c a l marks under or above the characters in this

Punctuation marksin this system are similar to punctuation marks

( ~ ) placed under the shorthand form, as in Bob ? a o But this,

1. D i s t i n g u i s h i n g vowels from consonants. The vowels in Simplex,

as w i l l be shown later, are indicated by c i r c l e s and s e m i - c i r c l e s .

th ? ond h ? ? constitute the forward strokes in this system. They

2. Selection of the forward strokes. L i k e all other characters

in E n g l i s h . On the other hand, the remainder of the forward strokes,

writing without the formation of an angle. Thus: pray ? ,

brave ? ~ _ ¢ 7 p l a y ~ _ 4 , b l u e - ? ? z and other exomples. It w i l l be

3. P a n d B. The f i r s t pair of phonetically related sounds are p

The larger curve ?NS represents b a s in b a t ¢

pray break harp depth lapse span imp ball pen

4. Rand L. The forward c o u n t e r c l o c k w i s e curve ? represents

In r e l a t i o n t o o t h e r c h a r a c t e r s , r and! \ ? ~ are written thus:

Earl sharp pray play earth else art slow true

draw urge shrill ark cry free ray lay are

Lee ill pull arm _? self

It is to be noted that, when no d i s t i n c t anglecan be formed in joining
