I think some of the new punctuation won't be as simple to learn. I must
admit I liked the neatness of lower g for brackets and regret that many of
the signs for punctuations now involve 2 cells.

Hi Ian,

I couldn't agree more. UEB is easier I would suggest, for new users to
learn, it's only going to be the old die-hards that keep resisting it.

All the best

Like learning to deal with a touchscreen, the best way to my mind of dealing

with UEB is to accept that it is here to stay. There should be nothing new
offered in Standard English Braille. The sooner the old syystem is
forgotten, the less likely it is that confusion will arise and the more
chance Braille has of surviving. The changes are far from radical so let's
adopt it and stop hankering after what is now the past.

this issue is being discussed on the email list of the National Federation
of the blind UK. I know that one of the members is stating and writing to
his council saying that she does not want any braille information in UEB and

so far has been successful in implementing change at the personal level.

Hi All
To those of you that receive a Braille bank statement,
is it now using the new Braille code?

My bank HSBC now uses the new UEB code.

Well I am wondering if we have any right to a choice code used.

I don't want to get in to a discussion about the reasons for the
change, but rather, discuss the right to a choice of code used.


Well we can choose grade 1 or grade 2 Braille.
So why not a choice for the Braille code.
Not sure how the transcription software would manage it!
