Speedwriting. Speedwriting is a shorthand writing system developed in 1924 by Emma Dearborn, an instructor at the University of Chicago.
It uses alphabetic characters and was originally designed so that it could be written by pen, or on a typewriter. Speedwriting is phonetic with a ‘k’ used for a hard c, ‘C’ for ‘ch’, ‘j’ for ‘g’ in ‘age’. It condenses words by omitting silent letters and only writing long vowels, and initial short vowels. EasyScript Speed Writing. EasyScript Speed Writing is a speedwriting method developed by Lenny Levin and introduced at a public seminar in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA, in 1990.
EasyScript, like other speedwriting methods, has an advantage over traditional shorthand methods in that it can be learned more easily, at the cost of reduced maximum speed. In other words, a person using EasyScript will still write in the traditional longhand form but everything written will be shortened. Rules[edit] The EasyScript system has five rules. They divide English vocabulary into five groups: Simple words: a simple word is a word without a prefix or a suffix. Usage[edit] Personal Shorthand.

Super-Earth. Two renderings of possible super-Earths, with Earth itself to the right for comparison A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below the mass of the Solar System's smaller gas giants Uranus and Neptune, which are 15 and 17 Earth masses respectively.[1] The term super-Earth refers only to the mass of the planet, and does not imply anything about the surface conditions or habitability.
