Longhand are words we use everyday - like "cat", "dog", etc. Shorthand writing is using certain symbols as "shortcuts" for not having to write down the entire word. Also, silent letters are omitted, leaving only the sounds of the word, such as the word "Humble" - a stenographer (one who writes in shorthand) would not include the "e". That is the main difference between shorthand and longhand.
