@molly0xfff Amazing when you think that he needed to do it in shorthand and figure out how to transcribe THAT speech in real-time.
@molly0xfff If you want to spend a few hours of your life going down an interesting rabbit hole, read about the Pitman shorthand system. Came up earlier this trip. Think someone on my feed posted about a weird bible they'd found in an antique store and turns out the whole thing was in Pitman shorthand.
@Infoseepage i tried to teach myself Gregg shorthand when i was a teenager 😁
