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

[Joshua Lester]

Call it whatever, but remember, in the South, that kind of language is
looked down upon.
I'm a Southerner.
Also, as a Christian, I'm told in my Bible, not to let corrupt
communication proceed out of my mouth.
If Jesus wouldn't talk like that, I won't.
Blessings, Joshua
