The word shortform can be a little intimidating when making decision on whether or not the shortform can be used as part of a word. A helpful place to start is on page 229 of the Rules of Unified English Braille Manual. — Denise Bean
New Weekly Dose: Shortform as Parts of Longer Words
For more information and to see past Weekly Dose of Braille topics check out our Weekly Dose of Braille Page.
The Weekly Dose of Braille is created by our Youth Services Librarian and Braille Transcriber, Denise Bean, with the help of our Instructional Materials team. It gives you a taste of braille examples that may be used in worksheets or textbook formatting. It is a miscellaneous mixture of tricky, sometimes challenging circumstances, that a braille transcriber may come across or question. Provided each week is a downloadable PDF file on each topic, a brf file can also be made available for your convenience.
