[nabs-l] grade 3 braille

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
grade 3 braille is used for personal use; its not in books we read. 
basically grade 3 is a shorter form of words; its for fast notetaking.
I don't know it; basically, it adds more short form words to writing.

Hi All.

I am creating this topic further to Dave's post about NFB
training centers, who said that he learned Grade 3 Braille in
those  centers.
I didn't want to post this in that topic so as not to go
off-topic.
So I would like to know, could someone try to explain how this
works? Because to be honest, this is the first time that I'm
hereing about it.  Was this only discovered recently? Does it
have, say, more contractions then grade 2 braille uses?
I'm sure that I'll be able to understand your explanations about
it, because I have been using braille for quite a long time
(since I was in kindergarten, and now I'm in 11th grade).  I
don't think I've learned grade 2 braille when I first sttted to
learn braille, but I have been using grade 2 braille for as long
as I can remember, and am therefore very good at it, if I say so
myself.
Not only that, but I just finished the course on Braille music at
my music school.
I hope you'll be able to explain how Grade 3 Braille works.
Thanks.

Sami.
