Hello everyone!
Don't worry, we all make mistakes. I'm working with someone right now who is
learning grade 2 and it's hard to remember all these contractions and their
rules. But I guess when you are a braille transcriber or are taking the
course to become a braille transcriber, you have no choice. Smiles! All the
best,
Nafisah.

Hello Terri and list,
The lower sign cannot follow a capital sign if there is punctuation
before the capital sign. I am currently taking a braille transcriber's
course and this was presented as one of the rules. The lower sign can be
used at the beginning of a sentence only if it follows a capital sign and
is not preceded by any punctuation. Only to, into and by can follow
punctuation and a capital sign because these words are attached to any
word after them. All the best,
Nafisah.

Yes, you *can* use a lower cell sign at the beginning of a sentence.
The capital sign before the lower sing and the space after the lower
sign would distinguish it from anything else. But if there is a
punctuation mark, like an opening quotation mark and the word is *not*
capitalized, then you must spell out the lower sign.

I'm a bit rusty, but I think that you are correct, the sentence should
begin
with a W. I believe this is because when a sentence begins with a
braille
contraction that is in the lower part of the cell, the word is spelled
in
grade one braille. I think this is so the word cannot be confused with
the
capital sign, or numbers in Neimeth code, which are all in the lower
part of
the cell.

Subject: [GWN] the correct braille rule
Hi, Every One,
What is the correct Braille rule as it applies to this sentence:
Was she here?
When that sentence is translated from ASCII, it comes out with:
dot six lower j
I thought that it should be a capital w.
If the former is correct, so be it. If the latter is right, we have a
translation error which needs to be reported to GW.
Thank you. I look forward to your thoughts.
Joe G.
