Good point, Betsy. One dollar sign placed at the top of the column makes sense
when you can take in the entire page at a glance, but not when you have to
process it character by character, which is an important aspect of braille that
people forget. There are lots of other things that work very well when you can
see the whole picture, but not when you have to assemble the picture in small
segments.

One other comment about the dollar symbol. Many times we've seen menus in
print that have one dollar symbol at the top of the column where the prices
are. Having that one dollar symbol at the top looks really strange and it is
obvious that the symbol is meant to show dollars in all of the items below it.
So that's why we put it in.

I'm translating some restaurant menus and I am running across some
formatting issues that I would like to run by any of you interested in
responding. Some menus show prices without dollar signs. Would you leave
them that way or add the Braille dollar sign?
The word wish is written w/, which now takes up three cells. Would you
replace those with the contraction for with?
