Use of the word 'Stenotype'

I have a UK marriage certificate dated 1873 and a birth certificate dated 1874 where the occupation is dated as 'stenotyper'. So the word must have been in use if only limited to business/government circles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.74.245 (talk) 09:28, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Section on chords is unclear

Some of the sounds in the table are unclear ("final nj" presumably means as in "sponge", but no example is given; surely "final rve" should be "final rv" [as in "serve"]); in particular, the vowel names are ambiguous. Can IPA be added (or used instead of the vague letter combinations given) to indicate exactly what sounds are referred to?

Furthermore, surely the examples for initial R and S are wrong? "Are" and "is" have final R and S. — 146.179.8.133 (talk) 14:14, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
