[blindlaw] Blind High School student interested in Law

[Gerard Sadlier]

I agree with that Angey.

I am not the fastest braille reader in the world but certainly know

I would also say that punctuation is something I have to watch very
closely and that I rely on spell checkers etc. for that to an extent.
Perhaps braille is especially useful for that.
