Hi Terry and all,
I agree with you Terry. I've been using Braille for over 70
years and also refuse re-learning it because its gotten me
through Columbia undergraduate, graduate and masters school and
don't know what I would have done without it. Again, why change
a good thing.

Good one Richard;
An option is fine but a standard, I say no. Why change
something, when
there is nothing wrong with it. I have been reading regular
braille for
over 40 years! Why change it.

Amen!
While, I'm not sure it would be any harder to learn, but if it is
adopted, and children start learning it exclusively, then
everything
published up to that point becomes obsolete. I hope it is
treated like
Grade 3, it is there for those who wish to use it, but not forced
upon
everyone.
Just my opinion, and remember, it is worth every cent you paid
for it,
grin.

Brian,
It hasn't been adopted in America yet and I hope it never is! I
sent an
email to Judy Dixon, president of BANA, and she said UEB hadn't
been
adopted
yet and that everybody would be able to vote on its adoption.
I will oppose it to the end. UEB is an awful code very difficult
to
learn and I refuse to unlearn everything I know about reading and
writing braille.

Dear Terri and list:
Like it or lump it, UEB is a fact of life and it may be phased
in
for general Braille production in the English-speaking world one
of these days.
Reading it won't be that difficult, if you aren't interested in
all of the font and such indicators, but you will probably want
to write it by composing your original in text and translating
it
into UEB.
At least for a while!
Brian
