Dear Jim, That makes sense. I guess I was lucky to have learned braille right from the beginning and I learned grade 2 reading the little first-grade primers and second-grade readers while my sighted friends were learning print and hand-writing.
I just don't want to se this "one-code" braille implemented that would be going backwards. To get back on the BN topic, perhaps PDI could consider implementing the braille-build feature of Duxbury where the grade 2 symbols are implemented gradually. I think this feature should be an accessory not a standard option. Terri Pannett, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
