If only I lived in the EU!

The Magnus Archives. This is a 200-episode paranormal horror podcast. Each episode is based around a statement from someone who witnessed or experienced something paranormal. Episodes increasingly delve into the lives of the people who archive these statements. The character development is fantastic. Only a single curse word is uttered in one of the final episodes.
Thank you so much! That fixed my issue! I was signed into the same profile on both, but my language was previously set to only "undetermined." I did not realize it was a multiselect field until I read your comment. Now I have it set to undetermined, English, and Spanish. I really appreciate you! Have an amazing life!
Thank you! The difference between American and universal grade-2 contractions is interesting. I understand now why UEB would be easier for computers to translate, especially if the source content is grade 2. What makes the universal contractions less readable than the American contractions? Would it not be easier to understand a language with less ambiguity?
I mistakenly thought that public signs used grade-2 Braille. Do they use American or universal grade-1 Braille?
The plus and equals signs in UEB differ from those in Nemeth. This is my major cause for concern about whether or not to use Nemeth for young students. It sounds like this dilemma is absent when it comes to American Braille; if it lacks these characters, then the only choice would be to use Nemeth.
Thank you for your answer! It was fascinating!
As I recall, I was introduced to the Braille symbols for each math concept as they came up during my math lessons.
When you learned Braille symbols for math, did you learn them in both Nemeth and literary American Braille or just literary American Braille? As a young student, could you read "1+1=2" in both literary and technical Braille? Which was more typical to encounter?
[UEB] was designed to make Braille translation easier for computers, not to be a good reading experience for humans.
I cannot read Braille, so my knowledge is theoretical. I thought UEB was mainly adopted to ease printed communication between English-speaking people in different countries. I assumed that computers could transcribe Unicode characters to American Braille just as easily as to UEB. What makes UEB easier for computers, but less readable for people? Do bathroom signs and elevator buttons use UEB or American Braille? Which is more prevalent in printed books? How does Nemeth compare for readability?
I was taught to use an abacus instead of trying to replicate pencil and paper calculations in Braille.
I did not consider the value of an abacus for teaching math today! I was mildly curious about how to use them, but now I need to learn. Thank you for that insight!
100% I care far more about relationships with NPCs than the overall plot. I favor role play over battle. The experience is more enjoyable if the GM honors the decisions and efforts of the players. Then everyone can discuss and laugh about the debacle afterward. I'm going to tell my GM how much I appreciate him now!
