Hi Kathy, Yes, when you braille in grade two, it is expanded in to uncontracted text and then sent off to your recipient, whether they are blind or sighted, using a BN or anything else.
Interestingly enough, when you thought you were writing "D R A G S T E R" it came across to me as "dragainster" The issue I believe, is that the translator has been made to recognize certain combinations of letters as contractions, but hasn't been taught when not to expand the contractions well enough. There are rules that we as humans can follow as we read braille. There are other situations which are common sense. I wonder whether Duxburry has a mechanism set in place to fix these errors in subsequent upgrades.

If I put dots 5-6 before the letter a it says "dragster" correctly. When you hear the word incorrectly, such as your Grimmediate, does it translate into print as Grimmediate for a person reading a print email from you? Just curious.
