How did you learn to
read and write? With print or with Braille or with audio?
With Braille and audio! Been blind scence berth. So learning with print
would not have been an option. Not sure how the above pertains to this

Hello Jim:
Swap the letter A as in "a upgrade" for the word an as in "an upgrade".
The way that you are using the letter A in your messages, makes the
upgrade sound as if an upgrade is an indefinite article, which it is
not.
sincerely:
Dave Durber
