Shaun, Compliment or complement or perhaps both?

actually I think there is scope for print and braille to compliment each
other..

we need to be able to represent as much of print as possible in Braille. We
certainly should represent capitalisation.
Whether we like it or not, we live in a sighted world and Braille needs to
reflect that as far as possible. If this does not happen, Braille will
diminish as it comes to show less and less of what is happening in the print
world.

And real Braille is not print. Sadly some people are trying to make
Braille more like print.
We don't need to show capital letter in Braille.

Braille is not a language. Perhaps if this misconception was laid to rest,
more people might be more willing to learn.

I think I would put it down to an error of the person labelling not being
familiar with the language of Braille and putting wrong labels on the
produce rather than a deliberate breach of any Act on the part of the
company.

As a point of interest I wonder if Braille mislabelling could count
as being breach of the trades descriptions act?

Subject: [access-uk] BRAILLE ON PACKAGING
As some of you know I was recently asked to write a
piece for the Guardian on Braille and hopes for the future. In that piece I
mentioned that The co-Op labels many, though not all of its own brand lines
in Braille. Today, however, I found a discrepancy between the print and
Braille packaging. I bought a pack of Co-Op bran flakes. Thankfully I
don't have to rely solely on the Braille to identify products because the
Braille said that the pack contained Golden Honey Nut Corn flakes. I'll
have to go back and determine weather all of the packs are labelled wrongly
in Braille. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
