Well, then given what you know it is not, consider what you think it could be and then what you think the most likely of those options is and you have your answer.

Well, I guess that therefore you did not select the option "shorthand". Obviously from the poll quite a few other believe it to be shorthand, of some form, which is fine. As you know that's not my opinion, but it is interesting to know what others think. I was expecting only 1 or 2 people would select "shorthand", as it is, there were many more who thought that the most likely explanation.
