Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graham's Amanuensis Phonography: A Presentation of All the Principles of Graham's Standard or American Phonography Essential for Shorthand Amanuensis Work 1. Elements of Phonography. - Phonography is a system of writing based upon the sounds of the language. Its alphabet, unlike the common one, has a letter for each distinct sound. 2. As only the sounds of a word are represented in phonography, silent letters in the common spelling, as a in tea, b in doubt, c and finale in scene, I in calf, ugh in dough, though, etc., are not expressed. 3. The consonant sounds are represented by strokes, and the vowel sounds by dots and dashes placed beside them. For convenience in learning the system, therefore, the consonant signs are taught first. 4. Directions for Writing. - Hold the pen between the thumb and first finger in the manner usually taught for longhand, and make the characters carefully. Do not, at first, try to write rapidly. Speed in phonographic writing is the result, principally, of familiarity with phonographic letters and principles. Use good ruled writing paper and good fluid ink.
