Yes, do be sure and make it TSP. and TBSP. And, fractions should be written out 1/2. Don't use the symbols in word. Another thing is make sure there is a space or a - between whole and fraction parts of the measurements, like 1-1/2 or 1 1/2 instead of 11/2.

The other one to watch out for is 1 t. and 1 T. If you're listening to the recipe, it's hard to tell what the measurement is. 1 tsp. and 1 tbsp. are better, but I imagine that spelling the word out is best: 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon. I've heard that the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 symbols in Microsoft Word are interpreted as asterisks with some Braille readers. Is this correct?Are there any other little gotchas to look out for? Thanks!
