Shorthand
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Shorthand is an abbreviated type of writing. It has been mentioned several times in the Doctor Who Universe.
In Doctor Who
- In Blink, Sally Sparrow jokes that Larry Nightingale can write shorthand when he writes down the manuscript of Sally and The Doctor's conversation.
- In Utopia, Martha Jones tells Professor Yana not to make her "write in shorthand", possibly as she cannot do it.
In Torchwood
- In Children of Earth, Lois Habiba translates what the 456 are saying to John Frobisher in shorthand. Ianto Jones is the only member of Torchwood Three who can read shorthand.
