Regrading John Gardners comments on tactile vs haptic... from dictionary.com tactile, adj. -Perceptible to the sense of touch; haptic, adj. - Of or relating to the sense of touch; tactile. common understanding of braille usage is through the sense of touch, many people are confused or are unsure of the term haptic. I would have no problem changing it to "tactile" Jim Allan, Statewide Technical Support Specialist Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired 1100 W. 45th St., Austin, Texas 78756 voice 512.206.9315 fax: 512.206.9453 http://www.tsbvi.edu/ "Be BOLD and mighty forces will come to your aid."

Braille is tactile, not haptic. We had some discussion of this as well on 24 November and it was minuted that Braille is haptic. We'll have to review that (or just delete the term from the document).
