What Rhonda means is that in Grade II braille, you cannot use dots 3,4 as a slash because it will be translated as an ST sign. You must place a dot 4 before dots 3.4 in order for it to translate correctly. The dot 4 acts as a "do not translate next character" indicator.

This is referring to the slash. If you are in grade one, you cannot write theS-T sign, because it pronounces it like the word "store". However, in grade one, the 4-5-6 S-T reads as slashes, as does dot four S-T. I know that Maria and Laura know a lot about this subject. Regards. > >
