How long does it take to learn shorthand?

Something like Pitman or Gregg shorthand.

That says: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood." :Q

To learn it, probably doesn't take more than a week. To be fast enough to make it worth using... probably a good month or so of taking notes in class and such.

I'm comfortable with scribbles and barely legibile quasi-cursive, then translating later.

Uhh, what sort of shorthand are you talking about?

My polisci teacher last year knew shorthand, and my publications teacher was also trying to learn it for interviews and whatnot. They definitely didn't learn it quick, I know that. I've never attempted to learn it, my profession doesn't require a lot of penwork. It always seemed pretty intricate to me. You need patience and devotion and all that crap.

I wish I was raised on shorthand.

The example you posted... it's basically learning ways to write most letters in a faster form and leaving out obvious letters... such as "u" after q... ... right?

Uhh, it's phonetic... it's not done by leaving letters out. Vowels are marked as hooks and circles on consonants, and the symbols don't really resemble letters at all as far as I can tell.
