I'm going to right Braille the way I learned it.  This UEB is a hoax! they
have had Braille translation programs long before UEB.  If computers can be
programmed to do most everything else, they can be programmed to translate
print characters into Grade 2 Braille the way it is.

From what little I've seen of UEB, it isn't all that bad.  They don't put 
signs together, (e.g.) I think you have to use the of sign and the the sign 
separately to write "of the".  It did throw me a bit the first time I saw 
the word "reduce" though, because its now written r ed-sign u c e, which 
would make it easier for a translator.

It'll just take some getting used to, and then it'll be the normal thing.
