a few other spots with quikscript in mind
I don't control what people put onto their websites.
If something on someone else's website offends you, that is their problem, not mine.

University of Reading / Kingsley Read -
http://www.reading.ac.uk/special-collections/collections... |
| A summary of the archived materials the University of Reading has from Kingsley Read. Interesting in that it leads to a link that gives a mini-biography (with some interesting trivial bits) of Kingsley Read, the creator of Quikscript. The archived material is not on line. | |

Untitled -
http://www.qsl.net/ws8g/shavianindex.htm |
| A single webpage that focuses on another alternate English alphabet but has enough Quikscript content to warrant a mention here. It features a graphic that shows the Quikscript alphabet & its phonetic equivalents. | |

Quickscript Revolution -
http://www.angelfire.com/rings/imnotweirdimgifted/rev/h.html |
| A single webpage that has a graphic of hand-written Quikscript on it. The author of the page promises to include more content onto the page eventually. For now, interesting in that it provides an example of hand-written Quikscript as opposed to typed Quikscript. | |

Sound-writing / Shaw -
http://www.spellingsociety.org/journals/j23/shawread.php |
| As good a history as you will get behind the creation of an earlier alternate English alphabet. As Quikscript is an unfunded evolution of that earlier alphabet, it's mention is only at the bottom. Still, there is significant value in reading this as it gives a fascinating look into how the lives of G.B. Shaw & Kingsley Read intertwined to eventually create Quikscript. | |

G.B. Shaw Preface to Wilson -

| This is another history of the creation of an earlier alternate English alphabet & Quikscript. Significant in that it has more detail about Quikscript. | |

Omniglot - Quikscript / Read Alphabet -
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/quikscript.htm |
| The website "Omniglot"'s entry for Quikscript. Recently updated with 3 text samples written by Oliver Langen, demonstrating 3 different styles of Quikscript writing - Junior with no abbreviations, Junior with abbreviations & Senior. The font used seems to be a hybrid of "King Plus" & "QSJ Block" letters. There are also additional comments about Quikscript's spelling schemes (such as the elimination of "e" in the suffix "-ed"). A diagram that uses the Jerome / Junior font. A few links (all of which can be found here), including one to this site! | |

Entry in Jon Zuck's Blog -
http://frimmin.com... |
| Jon Zuck (creator of the "Jerome" Quikscript font), has his own blog & briefly mentions his involvement concerning the creation of the font in blog entry dated July 30th, 2006. There is one graphic of "The Lord's Prayer" (apparently written in Junior Quikscript). | |

World Language Process -

| This site uses an older copy of "Omniglot"'s Quikscript page. It has 2 links - One to Ewout Stam's website & the other to the Yahoo! Quikscript group. Barely worth mentioning. | |

Travel Phrases - Quickscript -
http://www.travelphrases.info/languages/EnglishUsing... |
| Included only for the bemusement of Quikscript users; This webpage attempts to translate "The 4 Essential Travel Phrases" into Quikscript & another alternate alphabet. It contains a very brief history of Quikscript as well as exactly 1 graphic, showing 4 questions written in the Jerome font. Without looking at that website's main page, can you tell what those "4 essential" questions are? At some point, they included a link to Omniglot's page for Quikscript (which we've included here). | |

Fool's Wisdom -
http://www.foolswisdom.com/~sbett/shaw.htm |
| I include this webpage here for completeness only. This webpage mainly deals with another alternate English alphabet but Quikscript is occasionally mentioned for comparisons (as "Quickscript"). It only has one link, to Ewout Stam's Quikscript website. There is also a picture that compares 3 of Kingsley Read's alternate English alphabets (Quikscript being 1 of those). | |

Factbites -
http://www.factbites.com/topics/Quickscript |
| A summary of various websites that mentions Quikscript. It's not a "wikipedia" clone so I couldn't place the link with the clones but it doesn't yield any additional information about Quikscript that the current wikipedia webpage already has. Furthermore, the people running the website confuses Quikscript, the alternate English alphabet with a programming language of the same name. Whatever links are there about Quikscript are also here. | |

Easyscript -
http://www.easyscript.com/uses/shorthand_overview.asp |
| This webpage mentions Quikscript as a shorthand(!) system & describes it briefly & erroneously. It allows you to also go to another webpage that features what Omniglot has : A diagram of the Quikscript alphabet along with the transcription of the Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The website is involved with selling a shorthand system & you should be mindful of that when browsing that website. | |

BPJ's Quikscript pages -
http://quikscript.melroch.se/ |
| This website has two pages mentioning Quikscript - The first looks like a brief Wikipedia-esque history of Quikscript, with another page devoted towards proposals for rearranging the Quikscript keyboard mappings. There are a few links to other Quikscript resources, namely the PDF of Kingsley Read's manual, the Yahoo! Quikscript Group & this website. | |

Wikipedia - Quikscript
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickscript |
| This page on the Wikipedia website has a very generalized history of Quikscript, along with five links (four of which can be found on this page, the other one being this website). I have discontinued the second page that housed the Wikipedia link along with it's clones. There was no substantive purpose to that page except to illustrate that the Internet is home to dozens of bottom-feeding information sites. Needless to write, there are dozens of sites that will take Wikipedia's information & repeat it verbatim. To have found all of these "clone" sites would have been an exercise in frustration, one in which I am no longer going to participate in. | |

Langmaker's webpage for Quikscript -
http://www.langmaker.com/db/Quikscript |
| The Langmaker website has been down for many months now, with no guarantee that it will re-appear. This is too bad, as the website was an emerging (if unorganized) gathering place for very small & otherwise obscure alphabets & artificial languages. I'll keep this link here for now but the websites's chances for re-emergence looks grim. | |

Bob Richmond's page on Quikscript -
http://members.aol.com/RSRICHMOND/quickscript.html |
| Wow. You always know that, someday, all websites go to that great big ISP in the sky but I never thought I'd see the day that this website would disappear. this is truly sad, as this was, arguably, the first Quikscript webpage on the entire Internet. While it was only a single webpage & the website concentrated on another alternative alphabet, I am certain that a lot of veteran Quikscript enthusiasts surfed the page at one point or another. Tragic. I hope I find this someplace else. | |
