I accept the compliment, with an I, a personal compliment and wish to be
complimentary, the word complementary completes this sentence.

That one would have been very difficult to spot with speech alone.

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

I disagree.
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.

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
