Lyric discussion by sandra1156 

By the use of "shorthands a letter" I get the feel of this being in the 50s. I mean, who was shorthanding in the 80s? Also, the sinatra reference. Interesting, the song is a picture of a mid century woman working her way to the top by sleeping with men.

@sandra1156 could be writing shorthand as "code" (passing notes in secret??)

I wrote shorthand (my own form) for uni notes, but don't think I ever wrote a letter to someone in it (they probably wouldn't have been able to understand most of it)

An error occured.
