The good thing is that a reader of the current system will be able to read
UEB with no difficulty. Writing it without errors will be another thing for
us old dogs.

Oh my gosh!
I remember when they were 372 exchange.
I would never have even thought of all of this but you know anything that
helps you remember braille is good.
After all, Braille is really like a language. It is so interesting and even
though some think it never changes it does.
I know some people are distressed about Bana Adoption of the UEB but if we
look at the history of braille it has not stayed the same since Louis
Braille.
There have been many bumps along the road.
I'm not saying I am for UEB but like it or not it's going to be here soon.
I wonder how much the learning curve will be.
People are still going to have to know how to read the current code because
I am sure we are not going to card all of the materials presently on hand.
Think of all of the words you can come up with for your most important
numbers.
Happy Brailling!

amused by the fact that, on campus here at BGSU, the student phones ... for
a long time in old, disreputable dorms, all start with 214... work it out
yourselves.

> Some of you may know that our late beloved leader, Kenneth Jernigan used a
memory system based on Braille and the fact that the first ten letters are
also the numbers 1 to 0. The system requires real creativity because it
depends on using Braille abbreviations when available and convenient. For
example, my home phone number, 774-8077, in his system became G, good hog,
go. This requires knowing the when g stands alone it means "go." GD is the
abbreviation for "good." And you can make the word "hog" if you change the 0
to an o. You can see the kind of contortions that the system requires. Be in
some circles I am still sometimes called Good Hog. All this is to provide a
NAPUB moment for those who know a little Braille. Eric's new phone number is
ice fife. Now you nonBraille readers can work on figuring that out, but the
rest of us will remember his number easily.
