> Which made sense before computers, when a stenographer needs to write very quickly, and English is written long.
Stenography is where it was at! My mom's second husband was working at the local parliament and had to take notes, in real time, about what politicians were saying and he'd use stenography. He'd then hand his "stenographed" notes to a secretary that'd convert them back to english, which he'd then proofread.
It was french btw, which is even longer than english (about 20% longer).
