Some good non-shorthand notation for practical use here. But they’ve got Pittman wrong: a pencil isn’t required, it’s just easier for most. The way I write shorthand I can’t tell the difference between the weights of my lines, and besides after a certain level of practice it’s not supposed to matter. Permalink   ·
