Happy Birthday Louis Braille!

[Stella_Omega]

I just went to Google for a question, and the logo is in Braille today. It's the great man's birthday, 1809.
In honor of the day, I plan to FEEL everyone I talk to today. I think we all should, don't you?

I was wondering what that was about....how cool.

Happy Birthday!

My mom transcribes books into Braille for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

Where's Yui? She's perfect for practicing Braille on.

There are three "official" levels of braille

Grade one is a simple alphabet translation with a different sign for each letter.
Grade two could be described as contractions and abbreviations.
Grade three is along the lines of shorthand.

There is a grade four, but it's referred to as "anatomy by braille" and is very unofficial.
