Donna, I'm an avid eight dot Braillist. In fact, in some ways I hate Grade
2. For example, why does it take two cells to create a capital letter? In
eight dot, I can just hold down dot 7 and type the letter, so A is dots 1
and 7.
And who in the world thought of contracting the word It with an X? In some
ways, Grade 2 is stupid.
I know other words like Knowledge save space, but there are some stupid
things going on in Grade 2, so I use Computer Braille where I can.
All the best
Steve

Like I said, right space is space, left space is backspace and the two
together are enter. No dots are used at all.

I prefer the way the Esys range do it, using the two space bars for
Enter and the left space for backspace.

The VU is the only braille notetaker I have that can handle Gaelic well.

VU displays them correctly in 8-dot mode, and I can write them as
