Just kidding, that sounds like shorthand typing method, like they do in the court.
Pffft, that's cheating!

you're right. it is similar to court reporting. grade II braille consists of over 175 different contractions and short form words.
for example, the following sentence would be typed in print to braille as follows:
"he will go to the store tomorrow." (print)
"he w (will) g (go) to the (two keystrokes for the word "to" and "the")
"st" sign "o-r-e" (4 keystrokes for the "st" sign and then the letters o-r-e) tmr (tomorrow)." (grade II braille)
when you compare the two sentences, the first sentence consists of 27 keystrokes while the second sentence only consists of 11.
since typeingtornado knows braille, i bet what i've written would make sense to her. then again, braille abbreviations and short form words can't be written as print characters since braille represents tactile formations of letters, numbers and words. it's kind of like trying to write asl as english. it just doesn't work.
you spelled "braille" correctly.
no, i don't have a special tv and there aren't special tv's for the blind.
however, some public tv stations do carry what is called dvs (or descriptive video service). dvs is a service that narrates what is happening on the screen, what characters are doing, what they are wearing and their facial expressions. this is all announced during pauses between dialogue in the program.

i love to watch tv (in fact, sometimes i watch too much of it!). some of my favorite shows are the ones i listed in an earlier post.
where can i buy it? i'm dying from withdrawal.
usually any diners make those. Or IHOP... or Friendly's.... one of those pancake houses...
or.... you can just make it yourself
i didn't know ihop had root beer ice cream. we don't have a friendly's around here, so i'm afraid that's out of the question.
i just checked the internet and found some great recipes for root beer ice cream. i'm going to give it a try and see if i can't make it myself.
Actually you know what? I don't know for sure if IHOP does make it but I feel that it does because well... this is NJ... the land of diners! There are diners just about every town and they do make it but not all. Some tastes lousy... some are good. It is best to make your own to your specific taste! The last time I made my own was................. back in 3rd grade?? My speech teacher was throwing a small party and she taught me how. It was good and very simple! You just need a blender machine if you want.
Did you just spend on AD 24 hours since last night?
That explains the bipolar disorder...
