Several times lately I have seen the name of our founder misspelled, and I have tried to respond individually. The name is spelled tenBroek or t e n B r o e k. What makes the name of little different is that the t is lowercase as is the en. The B is uppercase, and the last part, broek, is once again in lowercase. Before anyone takes offense, please understand that I spent a good part of my life believing that authentic was spelled o f f e n t I c, and that if a person was flustered, they would of course be flustrated. I also thought that the word was inter rested rather than interested and that the pronunciation really did end with rested but not so.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Although it probably won't help much with something like tenBroek, our smart phones and Amazon and Google devices can help. What a pleasure it is after trying to figure out how to own a Braille dictionary to be able to say define allegory, spell simile, or give me the synonym for verbose. When it comes to knowing how to spell tenBroek, Jernigan, or Marc Maurer, a list is helpful. Adding it to your word processors dictionary is also helpful and then getting the system to beep or buzz whenever it encounters a spelling error. If folks believe it would be helpful, I can certainly go through the list of words I have from working with the Braille Monitor that I have given to my dictation software so that it knows how to spell them. One has to get creative when getting the software to recognize the first name of our president. She continues to wonder why so many other people in the world misspell it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Warmly,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Gary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>P.S. some of you who may have found this note a little long will be glad to know that when I dictated my name to end this, the product did not write Gary but airy.
