		<description><![CDATA[I’d always used notebooks for shorthand. Sure they varied in size over the years from the standard reporter’s pad to bound notebooks resembling the types flipped open by police officers at crime scenes. The one thing they all had in common was paper.
So when I began to hear fellow shorthand practitioners waxing lyrical about Wacom’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anybody who has ever learned shorthand has, at some stage, experienced the “speed plateau”. It’s not a nice place. No matter what you try, it seems you’re stuck with a certain speed. We blame our hands (they just can’t go faster), we blame our brains (it just can’t go faster) we may even blame shorthand [...]]]></description>

Your editor gets a letter threatening legal action over an article published some months ago – they are claiming the article is not only defamatory in nature but their client has been repeatedly misquoted.

Sadly, I don’t think there is. But what got me was the fact she was interested in using shorthand in a graphic design project. Now, I’ve got a passing interest [...]]]></description>
