[blindkid] Good idea to check books well

Yesterday, Aubrie told me that her Spanish book is written in contracted
Braille. For those who are not aware, when you write Braille in languages
other than English, you do not use Braille contractions. Some of the
contraction signs stand for other things in a foreign language such as
punctuation or accent marks. Of course, there is no way for her TVI to do
all of her lessons along with all the other Brailing he needs to do. I did
mention to him that the transcriber should be notified. Certainly this book
was not a wise purchase!
