Penny,
The accents are a bit eisier now to understand and write then
they were when I was in high school in the 702s. Back then, for
example, the accents were: for a, it was the of sign. e was the
the sign. i was the still sign. o was theing sign. And u was
the with sign. Now, you just put a dot 4 before the regular
letter that is accented. So a would just be a dot 4 and then the
a. This is how the Spanish books are now that they have recently
been revised bz Hadley. For my own notes, I used the old way,
just because that is how I was trained, and I am used to it.
That is why Spanish is always grade 1 braille, because of the
accents. I have seen Italian in contracted grade 2 braille. So
I do not know what they do for accents. I would like to learn
Italian. Funny thing, I am full Italian, yet no of my name shows
it, and I do not know any. My taste buds like the food, though.
My father's mother changed his last name when she remarried. My
mother's maiden name is Ciccone. It ended with an i, but when my
grandfather got here off of the Adriata ship, the customs officer
changed his first name to Joseph, and he removed the i from his
last name and put an e on his passport. He never knew it,
because he knew no English. I tease my family, because Madonna
has the same last name as my mother. I tell them that she is a
great relative relation to us. I do not know how to spell the
Italian name for Joseph. I know how to say it, but I do not know
how to spell it. My father's father had the same name. Joseph
is my brother's middle name. My mother's mother's name is my
sister's confirmation name. My father's real last name was
Caravelo. Too bad I could not get a discount to change back
since it was his last name. It is too expensive to change your
name legally.
Love with every stop out,
Chanah
