Hi Megan and list:
Like you, I like contracted Braille. But I have been surprised by how easily
I've adapted to using computer Braille in my book port notes. Remember
contracted Braille was designed as a space saving measure. One particular
unfortunate result of it has been less literate blind people because they
spent so much time agonising over contractions that they can't spell beyond
elementary school level. In the book port context, the amount of space it
would save would not be significant. This is only my opinion.
Cheers,
Dave
