Searching for a shorthand outline?
This page gives text lists for those parts of PDFs
that do not appear on any other page in this website, to enable those words
to show up in searches, either via my Search Box or Search Page, or
through an internet search engine. This will help you find the
shorthand outline that you are after.
All shorthand on this website has its text
underneath, but if your search brings you to this page, you will
know which PDF contains the sought-for outline.
In some PDFs the material uses a scanned
page, and in those cases the text list is given on the last page of
the PDF, so that you can
(a) search for words within the PDF once it is open and (b) clipboard the text
for your own layout purposes.
The 120 Frequent/150 Common/850 Basic list PDFs contain derivatives, so there are
actually more words than the figure in the title.
