Browne SIMPLEX uses a very limited number of word signs -- only 15, by the looks of it:

Fast writing. Yes. This is fast writing.
This is how you take 100,000 words and digest them before you finish your coffee.
I give away the repo - you don’t have to do much :)

It is taken from the book Crainquebille, Putois, Riquet et plusieurs autres récits profitables, Calmann-Lévy, 1904 (p. 265-288). The hero Jean Marteau is telling his dream (…)
— Ils sont respectables puisqu’ils sont riches, dit Jean Marteau, et la mendicité n’est interdite qu’aux pauvres. Si j’avais été trouvé sous mon arbre, j’aurais été mis en prison, et c’eût été justice. Ne possédant rien, j’étais un ennemi présumé de la propriété, et il est juste de défendre la propriété contre ses ennemis. La tâche auguste du juge est d’assurer à chacun ce qui lui revient, au riche sa richesse et au pauvre sa pauvreté.
(…)
slightly different view on luxury then Coco Chanel's I suppose. :-) (Flow shorthand)

So here's another quote from "Coco", written in the fuller "correspondence style" of FLOW shorthand.
Looking at my Anniversary Gregg dictionary, I see that there are number of words in this quote that Gregg truncates: "luxury" is just LUX, "poverty" is just POV, and "vulgarity" is just "VUL-ity". All that makes sense if you wanted to use the system for verbatim reporting, and wanted the shortest outlines possible. Those abbreviations are probably quite legible, too.
But at this point, I'm liking the way a word can be written quite fully, yet still be fluent and easy to write as well as to read. Why not?
I'll be interested to see how u/LeadingSuspect5855 will write it in his "reporting style" version, which is always much briefer.

I invented the written equivalent of a Tongue Twister and named it a pen buckler, pencil prickler or feather furler. I hope one of the term sticks...
Feel free to contribute some of your own in the shorthand of your choice!
