A number of years ago (I wish I could find out how
long I've been here on bookshare--it doesn't appear on
my profile because I'm not a member) we had a
discussion here about spelling braille. Some people
preferred it with a capital B and some without, and I
think I've seen it both ways. I like it with the
capital; I think of Louis every time I write it that
way. smile
