FOREWORD
The following list of the 5,000 words of highest frequency
is "A Basic Writing Vocabulary— Ten Thousand
taken from
Words Most Commonly Used in Writing," compiled by Ernest
Horn, Ph.D., Professor of Education of the University of Iowa,
and Director of the University Elementary School. These
words were selected from 5,136,816 running words taken from
the vocabularies of business correspondence ; of personal letters
from all parts of the country, including the vocabulary of letters
of people of more than average
literary ability; of well-known
magazines and metropolitan news-
writers; of letters printed in
papers; of minutes, resolutions, and committee reports; and of
excuses written to teachers by parents.
It is interesting to note that in this list of 5,136,816 words

the word the occurs 560,601 times ; and 519,583 times a ; 359, 1 19
times ;^^ 147,612 times; and j// 91,568 times.
One of the principal factors that should be considered

in the teaching of shorthand is the probable future importance
of words in the writing done in life outside of school. If the
teacher would strive to drill the pupils on the group of high-
frequency words in each lesson until these words become auto-
matic—and they may be made more interesting by drilling on
them in context rather than singly— the pupil will have a writ-
ing vocabulary of more than 90 per cent of all that he is likely
to be called upon to write.
We wish to extend our thanks to Dr. Horn for his permis-

sion to arrange this list according to the Gregg Shorthand
Manual.

112. A pure diphthong is the union in one syllable of two simple vowel
sounds uttered in rapid succession. The diphthongs are therefore expressed by

thongs are composed:

1 line ^___^^2^ 1 might ^--^ ^ ^<^^^
1-J-, A-ing

116. When word forms end with the diphthong /, the double circle is used
to express the diphthong and the termination ly:
2 highly O 1 kindly ^-^ 5 rightly ^^
UNIT 14
In a few words, vowels follow one another consecutively without form-

118.
ing diphthongs, as in poem, radio, showy. In such words the signs for the
sounds are written in the order in which the sounds occur:
2 poem C— 3 poet 6-^ 5 poets (p^
3 poems (C — z 3 poetry 6^ 3 radio (^J^

119. Any vowel following the diphthong / is expressed by a small circle
within the large circle:
3 prior 6^-^ 2 science ^^^ 5 via
120. Short / followed by a, as in mania, is expressed by a large circle with a

dot placed within it; e followed by the large circle vowel, as in create, is
expressed by a large circle with a dash within it. These distinctions are seldom
necessary, however:
4 create ^ —^ 2 piano c3^ 5 radiator
4 initiation ^ 5 pneumonia ^ 57 5 serial
121. When two vowels not forming a pure diphthong come together, the
minor vowel may be omitted:
4 companion ^-> 1 idea (^ 4 ruin «_--»--
,J-^^ 2-s / ^ J^
4 cruel ----?_^ 2 ideal O ^ theory
3 genius J^ ^ ^'K _y

'^J 2 quiet
3 genuine c/^ — \-\y
For convenience in writing many common words, the circle may be omitted
in the diphthong u, as in new, due, music:
