a(n) — nonuse of G1 indicator

[Katrina Ostby]

Help, my proofreader says I need a grade 1 indicator in a(n) -- meaning a or an. I say that neither the a nor the n are standing alone: (UEB 2.6 and 2.62). So the letter n cannot mean the word not, and a always means a. So, the insertion of a G1 indicator either before the a or before the n seems unnecessary.

So, is a(n) correctly brailled as:

A"<N">

Thanks, Katrina

Sorry, the " symbols in the simbraille should have been dot 5's. K

Hi Katrina,

I understand the snafu with quotation marks and dot 5. 🙂

Your conclusion and reasoning are solid. There is no need for grade 1 indicators in this symbols-sequence.

Braille on,

Julie
