[Nfb-krafters-korner] o t: method to the madness of braille

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Dot 5 in frunt of the first letter of each word accept where, ought (which I missed spelled) dot 5 in frunt of the the sign for there and in frunt of ch for character.

If you forget a simble you can just say these phrases and figure out what the word is!  

Does dot 5 ch mean character or maybe child.  This would answer the question.
Does dot 5 f mean friend or father?

Terry,
 
How does this work?  What does it refer to?  The sentences or  phrases I don't know how to use them, can you explain a little more?

ok for you  folks having difficulty with interchanging letters, here is a hint. there is a  pattern to the braille letters. learn the pattern and you may have less  trouble interchanging letters.

a is dot 1.
b is a plus dot 2.
c  is a plus dot 4.
e is a plus dot 5.
f is b plus dot 4.
g is b plus  dot 4 5.
h is b plus dot 5.
so we have used all combinations with the  two top left dots 1 and 2 or a and b..
so the pattern now begins with dot  2.
I is dot 2 plus 4.
j is dot 2 and 4 5
so if you can remember the  logic of the pattern you may remember it better.the alphabet continues in this  logical style except for the fact that Louis Braille was French so some of the  pattern is  broken.
Cathy
