Hi: Instead of spelling, I should have said, typing. I make many typing errors, but I proofread my messages in an attempt to insure that I Don't have any obvious mistakes. Perfect? Not me, or anyone else I currently know. -----Original Message----- Why I feel that part of the issue concerns Braille is that some errors that I make are not discernable with speech.
