Well, I am only talking about two different thicknesses, and I'm sure you are already familiar with them. Think of a regular old spiral bound notebook. Thin front cover, thick back cover. In highschool, I hated how the fronts of my notebooks would tear off, leaving my hard work exposed to the elements inside my dirty L.

Bean backpack. It didn't make sense to me that the back cover was made so sturdily, while the front so crappily. I thought I would someday become rich by inventing a notebook with sturdy covers, front and rear. Enter the steno pad. It seems stenographers made this discovery many decades before me, and have been using steno pads with thick front covers all along.

Somewhere along the line, some businessman probably not a stenographer, for how could a stenographer do such a thing? After all, a steno pad is nothing more than a small notebook, right? I find myself skipping lines in my Gregg pads, to avoid a crowded looking page.

Still, the beauty of Gregg appeals to me, and I think it is more beautiful when I can distinguish the horizontal lines of writing. The front and back of the steno pad has to be firm.

Later, take your first pass from dictation in the left column. Then copy from the left to the right. It will show you where your outlines degrade at speed, and where you hesitate. For either of these, though, you have to check against the text, so you don't reinforce something you did wrong in the first copy.

Hi thomsk Gregg ruled is 3 spaces per inch, so you get a full third of an inch for your outlines — narrow and college ruled mean you have to make quite small outlines that may be a more difficult to read and b more difficult to write — at least for me, although I've arrived at a meeting to discover my new steno pad is college ruled, and had to write really small.
