[Nfb-science] cheryl: learning NUB system?

[Jewel S.]

Other changes include the dollar sign (no longer a lower d, in NUBS,
it would be dot 4, S before the number sign. Another change is the
decimal point in both math and computer code. I don't remember the
exacts of this, but I prefer the dot 4-6 sign that is used in computer
Braille pre-NUBS. Also, a punctuation mark (4-5-6) would have to be
used before punctuation when numbers are at the end of the sentence
(ex. The girls beat the boys in soccer 3 to 1. This sentence would
have to have a punctuation sign before the period to show that it is
not 3 to 14.

There are other changes, and I'm sure ther e will be changes made to
the "beta" version that is currently being looked at, based on the
evaluations that people send in. By the way, if you've not done such a
nevaluation, the deadline is July 31, so get those in!
