bHi all,
Richard, you're preaching to the choir as far as I'm concerned. I've
seen it all. I think part of the problem is people who do not read
Braille, but I also think that sixty percent of the problem is pure
cuss`ed laziness. If people were to use their spell checkers instead
of rushing along, they might discover that their spelling improved
markedly. I know it did for me. Now, although I tend not to run a
spell checker unless I am sending out something official, I do tend to
look up words and to try to remember how they are spelled.
But people aren't like me. They don't care how they misspell words.
they misspell synonyms, they misspell product names, but one good
thing about most misspellers, at least those who are blind, is that
they spell phonetically. That's a comment on the need for phonetics
in reading if nothing else. After all, the written word is the
physical expression of the audible sounds we make to communicate.
Having a BN helps in spelling too because you actually can "see" the
words and the punctuation as you read.
