I believe it's a result of automation. Rather than having a human
transcribe your bill, it's put through a few macros that make it
readable. I do find this preferable, since my life is my business and I
don't need it mulled over by a lot of people at a transcribing agency.
I'd rather just take the bad braille in this instance, just so long as
it's readable.
