Re: Braille: A philosophy
The thing about Grade 3 is that it's so rarely used, there isn't much of a standard. There has to be something of one—I've seen a standardized test for it—but for all intents and purposes, it's like any other shorthand. Personally, if I really need to save space (and I've made lots of half-page books and note-cards, so it isn't so uncommon), I drop spaces and unnecessary 56s (ex, in recipes, 1tbs makes as much sense with the letter sign as without), mix and match whichever code saves the most space, right names in Japanese (and drop the voice marks if I'm really short on space), and mostly try to let context sort out ambiguity. In spite of how desperately I wanted there to be a contraction for car when I was 6 (this only makes sense if I didn't know ar yet, and I don't remember if that was the case...), I haven't really used any unclaimed dot 5 or 456 or what have you. ... I'm not sure why. That would totally be in character.
