Once again, a question used radio buttons that should have had check boxes. I very strongly feel both that braille is the difference between literacy and illiteracy, yet I also feel the code is cluncky, and need to be updated to the times. I think the main reason I don't care about the code is that the basic units of writing will be uneffected. If it turned out the symbol for the letter t was going to be replaced by the letter Q, the letter w would become a two-character symbol, and the "the" contraction was going to disappear, I'd probably care a lot more, but from my understanding, most of grade one and two will be uneffected. If you ever dedicate one of your radio shows to this topic, let me know. It couldn't hurt if someone wrote a brief article for the ACB newsletter setting out the changes that would effect the average reader most greatly.
