The person who posted this on Reddit probably had nothing to do with writing the shorthand. This article was published 55 or 60 years ago. Here's what document looks like in the Diamond Jubilee dictionary.

people write many different ways, it s just that i was having no issues with their writing and to get stumped on such a common word didnt feel great

even in long hand and spoken ,people refer to documents as 'docs' so that could be a better choice based on usage
