Hi,
I disagree.
If we don't have caps, we have illiterate blind people who don't know how to
write in the sighterd world. They write everything in lower case. And
don't get me started on spelling because of contracted Braille.
All the best
Steve

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

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:-
