Unified English Braille Code

[dogriver]

This poll is intended for blind or partially blind people, but I have made provisions for the sighted to have relevant options for them as well.

Why I Oppose the UEB

[masterofmusings.livejournal.com]

1. It does not serve to unify anyone. All the other codes are still in use, we've just added another one.
   
2. The new code makes a shambles out of mathematics. Complex math is ten times clumsier under the new system than under the existing one.
   
3. The prevailing opinion among those pushing for the new code is that apathy among blind people in terms of expressing an opinion equals support for the idea.
   
4. In a world where it is already difficult to sell people on the idea of braille, asking them to learn a new code will surely spell the end.
   
5. It has become less about improving braille, and more about the pride and egos of those who are pushing this new code, mostly sighted, and want to leave a legacy.
