Why would I want the McDuffie? I don’t want to learn old braille. I know UEB well.

>> Judy, and I learn braille as a child or had no residual vision I probably could. However I find the US braille difficult. Dropped F, drop D and dropped H. is in weird places main something depending on where they are. That is confusing! I read faster in the new braille. I have children’s books and some religious things for the taking.

Most of the contractions are the same, they have done away with some of them, but you will never find a strange formation of dots you can't recognize.

I have braille books that I really don’t want to toss, but I can’t read them well enough in the pre-2015 braille to justify keeping. I’m willing to send them overseas or free matter them to someone who can’t send them overseas. Let me know.
