[nabs-l] BANA still considering abolishing the Nemeth braille code

[Carly]

Perhaps, our resident 8th grader is not alone in his immaturity? Did 
you not catch the substance of my letter, or were you too distracted 
by a word which, can be if it makes you and resident 8th grader more 
comfortable, expressed in terms of so much  bovine scatology? Do 
these terms please you? I assert You are naive to believe that 
resident 8th grader is not routeenly exposed to some language? 
Besides, if we can stop fixating on one little summary of what the 
BANA is seeking to commit upon our beloved braille code, we might be 
able to effect, some change!
