Excerpt from Barnes' Business Letters in Shorthand: Containing Mercantile, Railroad, Legal and Miscellaneous Letters in Shorthand; With Explanatory Notes, Designed Especially for Students of Benn Pitman's and Graham's Phonography
Men, man, gentlemen, gentleman, women, woman, hope, us oh or owe, own, and new, are written in the position indicated by the vowel in the word, because the natural way of writing these words is easier than the arbitrary word-signs, and is just as legible.
And is written in the third position to distinguish it from a, which is in the second position.
Graham's word-signs for before and above, and Munson's signs for opportunity and opinion have been adopted because they are safer than the signs given by Benn Pitman.
