Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Shorthand Dictionary: Comprising a Complete Alphabetical Arrangement of All English Words, Written Without Vowels, Adapted to All Systems of Shorthand Writing Doubtless much of a junior's perplexity arises from indis tinct writing; but it must be admitted, that even when characters are properly formed, they are not always easily read, and for this reason thousands of business men who have acquired the ability for writing a little shorthand have had to give it up. Yet shorthand must be of great value to pro fessional and commercial men. It requires, for instance, twenty-one distinct strokes of the pen to write such a word as streams, and no less than seven for every I that is written.
