Hi Joshua,
I agree about that, I was just saying you don't have to worry
about me as far as sensorship goes. LOL! Back to BANA, (and I'd
really like to get back to the original topic of this thread,
which is BANA) you can join the BANA-ANNOUNCE list to get
information by sending an email with "subscribe" in the subject
to bana-annonuce-subscribe at brailleauthority.org.

LOL!
Chris, I know you can handle it, but some of the newcomers, that
may
read this list, may not be comfortable.
I guess, that's what the blind kid list is for.
Anyway, to your point, some Southerners talk like that, but it's
against the majority of our culture.
Back to the BANA, what's the latest?
Blessings, Joshua

Good morning, Joshua,
bologna? really? Are we 5 year olds?
I am not at all being defensive with this I assure you it's just
that
can't we call it out for what it is?
Also, is compelling a kid to use words like "bologna" or
"poopoo,"
really all that different other than being a weaker, more
watered
down synopsis of what he's really feeling?

I just don't like having profanety on the lists, in case a child
is on it.
Sure they might be exposed to it, but we need to keep it to a
minimum.
I agreed with you, that the idea, to change our code, is
bologna.
You can say that, without using "BS."
Crap, even may be better suited for the list, than the S word.
I'm just saying this, for the protection of newcomers.
Again, I wasn't offended directly.
Blessings, Joshua

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!

Wow!
The cursing is back!
We have an eighth grader, on this list.
Please keep the profanety down.
Thanks, Joshua

Hi, Joshua,
That sounds perhaps a worthwhile gesture, in the event of there
not
being significant capital, behind this braille unification
bullshit... We might accept a fact that we might be, nice and
outnumbered, in this. . The locals seem to really dig
mediocrity. I
guess you can just refuse to learn it, that's what I plan to
do.

Carly, it's shameful.
I E-mailed the chairman of the resolutions committee.
Hopefully, I'll hear something.

Hi, Joshua,
I'm with ya, brother!
The example of that BANA attempt att braille I saw, struck me
as
being totally watered down and very much removed from the code
I
know
and love so very deeply. In fact, my Not being able to find
meaning
within the sensual, bumps does not make me love braille any
less.

I'm all for a unified Braille code.
That code, is the Nemeth Code!
Leave it alone!

I have just recieved my copy of the Summer 2011 Bulletin of the
National
Braille Association (NBA) which is the professional
organization
providing
continuing education to both paid and volunteer braille
transcribers here in
the United States. The President's Message states, "At some
point
in
the
near future, the braille powers-that-be will make a decision
about a unified
braille code for the English-speaking worlds--a code that will
combine
literary and technical transcriptions under one set of rules
and
constructions."
Elsewhere in this issue of the Bulletin, the NBA representive
to
the Braille
Authority of North America (BANA) writes that the BANA
"Education
and
Outreach committee is still reviewing the possibility of a
universal
code."
Note that the next meeting of BANA will be held November 3-6,
2011
and
will
be hosted in the Baltimore area by the NFB.
If you believe as I do that the BAUK-like representation of
maths
in
the
current proposals for a unified code are significantly inferior
to
the
Nemeth code's representation of mathematics, you might want to
take
action
now.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the US were to abolish the use of the
Nemeth
code
just as it is being widely adopted in countries such as India
and
Indonesia
which have larger populations of braille users?
Sincerely,
SusanJ
