Pitman's
|
|
For many years the most widely used form of shorthand in English. It was devised by Isaac Pitman (1813–97), who published his method in Stenographic Sound-Hand (1837). His originality lay in basing it, to a much greater extent than any of his predecessors, on the sound rather than the spelling of words.
