The problem is, as I understand it, that code, yes
even as braille is, is simetrical. Dislexics would get
confused the letters a and n, w and g, u and d, b and
v, correct me if I'm wrong guys, it's been many moons
since I taught the code in those amateur radio
explorer post 5 9 9 meetings, I was in high school
then, but I remember ordinary, non-learning disabled
folks getting those letters, and more, confused. I
think lots of people got l and f confused too, I
remember the anagram to l with it, for l. Maybe that's
not a anagram, but what ever you call it.
