Grade 2 Braille [3/7] - Punctuation Marks

We explore the braille cells that represent punctuation marks. Punctuation marks are used in both Grade 1 Uncontracted Braille and Grade 2 Contracted Braille.

@TheJstone92 Literary Braille is used in most braille books and in that form of braille you would just spell out those symbols as words. So instead of reading 2 + 2 you would instead read 2 plus 2. There is also another version of braille called Nemeth Braille that is used for more advanced mathematical and scientific notation which does contain cells that represent the + - = / x signs. Here is a link to a good explanation of that code: afb.org/braillebug/nemeth_braille.asp

Ah, yes. Stream the information directly to my brain! This is the best thing to experience this year.

The of/off and to/too in the story are hard to remember, but the story idea is a great one overall!

[@believeinpeace]

Absolutely excellent! Thank you!

[@DestielandMpreg]

I really would like to know what the pattern is for the english pound sign...... no where seems to have it :/ you are brilliant by the way! You made braille so much easier than when i was just reading about it! Your series really helped!

[@CrazyEventerGirl]

Some of the references you use as memory tricks aren't very useful to me (I'm a young Canadian), but I still love your videos. It's great to have all the braille signs in one place and broken down into patterns.

[@mshinzo8509]

Thanks man...very nice

[@TheJstone92]

do any cells represent mathimatical symbols such as + - = / x

[@Justintime_1]

The world may never know..

[@idontknow4398]

That's what I was wondering since I'm using this to cheat in maths but I only know the plus symbol which is: the bottom left and middle left and middle right dots

[@Matticitt]

Yeah... it was pretty easy up to this point. Now it's just as complicated as I thought before...

[@amandakirkpatrick5447]

i got confused then it fell apart back in grade 2 1/7

[@Ether-pb5gb]

this one is a bit tougher, for sure. but lesson 1/7 was pretty easy.

[@natethomason2250]

how do you tell the difference between 123 raised and 456 raised

[@verlenahawley6719]

i don't understand the punctuation which the "En (ough)" cell is supposed to represent. it's not a space, but you don't cover it. Does anyone know? i've been looking to no avail.

[@thecraftycactus1408]

It is a cell that means en. it is shorter than using two cells. Look at the signs next to bathrooms. They use this symbol.

[@alexisalexannis4684]

Can you do UEB

[@TheRojo387]

The cell with no dots raised at all, probably does not exist in Braille's system, reducing the number of possible cells to 63.

[@idontknow4398]

It does it's a space lol

[@alexisalexannis4684]

Cab you do UEB

[@AlvinBalvin321]

Hi

[@kevincarrico9712]

dis^dd.

[@Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjahnee]

I’m visually impaired, and I’m just about finished with uncontracted braille, or, as you might put it, “grade 1:01 braille“ and just starting contracted braille, “grade 2“ and this video is absolutely useless. You couldn’t even tell us the specific braille dots used for these punctuation marks? is this video gear towards sided people who are teaching, visually impaired and blind, because it’s definitely not geared toward the visually impaired/blind community. Disappointed.
