Yes I feel the same way that you and Marcia feel Steve.

I don't usually seear, but the UEB code certainly deserves a few choice words. 
 
To clean it up for the list, they can throw the whole damned UEB code out as 
far as I'm concerned.  They should go back to the Bana Text Braille code in 
most instances.  UEB takes up more cells for similar content and it's a pain in 
the butt to read on smaller Braille displays.
 
So, in my view, this survey is a waste of time if it only deals with the 
representation of the single quote. 
 
I'll bet a majority of the blind Braille reader population feels the same way.

This came from another list.  Maybe there's some interest here.

Subject: [BANA-Announce] Survey on Quotation Marks & Apostrophes in UEB
Reply-To: <Kim.Charlson@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Kim.Charlson@xxxxxxxxxxx> >

The UEB Code Maintenance Committee is seeking opinions on a possible change to 
the representation of single quotation marks and apostrophes in UEB.

An explanatory document (in print and braille) and survey link are located on 
the ICEB home page at www.iceb.org 
<https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30489975/www.iceb.org?p=eyJzIjoiMlBSYS12ZDFrWDktNGxrMmtZX1hMOHBmS09NIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDQ4OTk3NSxcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwOlxcXC9cXFwvd3d3LmljZWIub3JnXCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiZmY2YTRiNzMxY2MxNDcyYjg1MzIzNmE4MzUzODY4MDFcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCJkYzQ3ZGJhNmFhZjk4MDc3NTZhMmZmZTUxNzRkZjgzYzA3YjU2NWE5XCJdfSJ9>
 . 

Please spread the word of the survey through your local listservs, social 
media, newsletters, meetings and word-of-mouth. 

It is important that we reach as many people as possible. Adults who read a lot 
of electronic braille, adults who read mainly hard copy braille, teachers of 
children learning braille and braille transcribers are all likely to hold 
different opinions and their voices need to be heard. Moreover, there is a big 
difference in the predominance of single quotation marks in print across 
countries. 

The survey will be open for the month of June.

The Code Maintenance Committee (CMC) of the International Council on English 
Braille (ICEB) would like your input on possible changes to the braille 
representation of single quotation marks and the apostrophe to facilitate 
translation and reading on electronic braille devices. The explanatory document 
gives an explanation of the problem and the options under consideration. 
(Thanks to James Bowden, UK, and Leona Holloway, Australia, for their work on 
this.) 

After reading the information, please complete the survey at 

www.surveymonkey.com/r/UEB-apostrophe

to indicate your preference. The CMC will use the results of the survey to 
guide their decision on this issue. 

The survey will be available until the end of June. If necessary, this time 
frame may be extended. 

Please share this message with any colleagues who may be interested (with 
apologies for all the cross-postings I hope this will generate). 

Thanks for your attention to this issue. 

With best regards,
