Jean,
Here's what I've found so far in Braille Formats Principles of Print to Braille
Transcription 1997 (BANA) Volume 1:
See Page 6; Rule 1, Section 4a. If the text refers to spelling, grammar, or
pronunciation you would not use contractions for the suffix endings that are
standing alone. (my summary, see actual text for more details)
See Page 202; Rule 19, Section 5a. If the suffix is a main entry in a glossary,
handbook, or dictionary, then you would use the contraction. (my summary, see
actual text for more details)
Hopefully this will help add a little clarity to a confusing topic.
Kathy

Subject: [duxuser] contraction question
I'm working with material that is showing suffix word endings such as -ing,
-ed, -d, etc. I do know how to force contractions and supress letter signs as
needed, but I can't find whether these kinds of contractions are allowed when
showing suffix endings standing alone. Does anyone know?
