| − | Another mechanism for increasing the speed of shorthand is phrasing. Based on the calculation that lifting the pen between words has a speed cost equivalent to one stroke, phrasing is the combination of several smaller distinct forms into one outline, for example "it may be that the" could be written in one outline, "(tm)ab(th)a(th)". "I have not been able" would be written, "avnba" (Note that to the eye of the reader this phrase written in shorthand looks like "I-have-not-been-able", and so phrasing is far more legible than a longhand explanation of the principle may lead one to believe).

| − | The vowels in Gregg shorthand are divided into three main groups that very rarely require further notation. The ''a'' is a large circle, and can stand for the ''a'' in "apple", "father", and "ache". The ''e'' is a small circle, and can stand for the ''e'' in ''feed'' and ''help'', the ''i'' in ''trim'' and ''marine'', and the obscure vowel in ''her'' and ''learn''. The ''ī'' represents the ''i'' in ''fine''. The ''o'' is a small hook that represents the ''al'' in ''talk'', the ''o'' in ''cone'', ''jot'', and ''order''. The ''u'' is a tiny hook that expresses the three vowel sounds heard in the words ''who'', ''up'', and ''foot''. It also expresses a ''w'' at the beginning of a word.

| − | There are special vowel markings for certain diphthongs (two-sound vowels). The ow in ''how'' is just an ''a'' circle followed by a ''u'' hook. The ''io'' in ''lion'' is written with a small circle inside a large circle. The ''ia'' in ''piano'' and ''repudiate'' is notated as a large circle with a dot in its center. The ''u'' in ''united'' is notated with a small circle followed by an ''u'' hook above it.

| − | Due to the very simple alphabet, Gregg shorthand is very fast in writing. It takes a great deal of practice, however, to master it. Speeds of 280 WPM (where a word is 1.4 syllables) have been reached with this simple system before, and those notes are still legible to anyone else who knows the system.
