Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Are you using a grade two Braille alphabet?
edit - the third word is... n plus 'ever' which is a two letter sign.
More here.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I found that one hard Dilli. I find swapping between the alphabet and the grade 2 abbreviations frustrating and end up with scraps of paper with the most bizarre interpretations littering my desk at the end of it. At one point I translated a couple of words to be about a USB duck. I had visions of your computer quacking.
Thumbs up to you for seeming to take to Braille like a duck to water.

I'm guessing you could do with a discount on a Cube.

I never knew that braille had shortcuts.
That proberly explains why I couldn't translate what the braille was on a bottle of bleach.
