For all Braille readers - or those who don't know this fact!

When using a Braille display, there is a setting called "Expand Current
Word," and this can help in learning the spelling of a word that is
contracted. (Some of you guys know this, but let's not assume!) When this
special feature is activated, then the word is spelled out, letter by
letter. And so when you see the word dot five q and you know it is the word
question, but if you are struggling with its spelling, then making sure the
"expand current word" is on, then when you place the cursor on the word, it
gets spelled out. 

Otherwise, yah, some folks do become not so good of a speller if they only
do contracted braille.
