Hello MS. Powers,
This is Kristen.
I agree with you!
Braille is complex enough with out changing it.
Not enough people know how to read it the way it is now why change it so that less can
read it?
This UEB definitely needs to just be an option perhaps for Adults; Or at least
persons over school age because children need to learn braille the way it is now
before they, choose, (hopefully GOD) Whether Or not they want to learn another
braille code!
Just my two sense worth on THIS Matter For Now!
Have A Good Day!
("SO FAITH, HOPE, LOVE REMAIN, THESE THREE; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS
LOVE!")
From Your FRIEND, In OUR LORD And SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, And OUR BLESSED VIRGIN MOTHER MARY,
Kristen

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.
Richard

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
