#topic/hobbies/shorthand #topic/hobbies/writing

Yesterday evening,
while I was reading [[leslie-et-al_1968_gregg-notehand]],
for the first time practicing its lessons,
trying to [[learn-shorthand]],
I was growing frustrated with the terminology the text uses
to express English phonology.

I found a great article:
[Guess What? They're ALL Silent Letters!](https://mbsteven.edublogs.org/2018/05/05/guess-what-theyre-all-silent-letters/)
that effectively expresses the pain I feel
every time someone says "silent e".
