T-Line Shorthand vs Entropy

Can Short hand Writing save us from the heat death of the universe? Probably not, but it can help you write really fast

I had to stop and think for a minute because I'm just being introduced to this thing and I got curious. I'm a native Hebrew speaker and of course people know Hebrew looks kinda complex when typed, but we also have cursive Hebrew and when I think about the stroke numbers for all the letters we are surprisingly efficient with only 4 letters being 2 short strokes and the rest are 1 short stroke with maybe the ending letters being long to write ץףך
Obviously it's a different language so we can't omit vowels as easily, but in terms of speed. It's a hell of a faster than latin letters.

I am learning Teeline and it's easy to write but it's hard to get to 100 words per minute :(

how much time u invested

[@batlin]

What the hell... why didn't I learn this before? I know computers have made this mostly redundant... but even today kids are forced to take longhand notes for hours on end in school (especially if they have one of those teachers who regurgitates content from textbooks onto the blackboard and expects the kids to write it all into their notebooks -- if those kinds of teachers still exist and didn't go extinct after I was in school in the 1990s). Trying to keep up with that kind of dictation in school used to absolutely ruin my left hand and wrist. Wish I'd learned something like this.

HAHAHAH exactly XD I was in school a year ago so I can relate but shorthand wouldn't be useful because the teachers had to grade the homework, so it had to be written in longhand

True it wouldn't help with writing homework, but it might help with taking handwritten notes in college lectures.... although these days everything seems to be on PowerPoint and most people don't write anything down at all 😅

[@batlin]

@@firosuke that sounds realistic alright. Although recently I've heard some compelling arguments that taking no notes at all and just listening would be better for understanding and retention than trying to write everything down, which is considered "extrinsic cognitive load" that takes away some of your working memory that could better be used to fully comprehend and think about what you're learning (e.g. what a lecturer is saying). Shorthand could help there too if it reduces the level of concentration required to keep up.

Hi respected

[@aaronsteno4986]

I could be wrong, but I think it is typically spelled Teeline.

[@mybigbeak]

Your probably right. I never got the official book, I learned it off of youtube.
