I have been looking at the history of short hand which is WAY more complicated than I realized so I took a break and watched this. I know anyone that follows this substack would love it.

I studied shorthand in German. Became suicidal just waiting for the verb. By the way, I believe Conan was an ABD in English Lit from Harvard.

Yes, o'clock was there all a long for a riotous joke---I think "won't" was really funny, too.

Wonderful! Comic perfection. I’d heard of Gary Oldman (I think?) but don’t believe I’ve ever seen or heard anything he’s done. Great stuff. Thanks.

It popped up when I was looking for the history of shorthand. Then I got distracted watching his videos.
