The shift 2 on my keyboard is the "at" sign, used in email addresses.

The rules have changed many times over the years and I've been reading
braille since 1958.  I learned there were differences between braille
written in the 20's and 30's and braille written in the 90's.  There was
even a period where the double  quote was changed to dot 6 2,3,6 and dots
2,3,5,6 3 and the single quote was 2,3,6 and 3,5,6.  That didn't last long,
thank goodness!

The change I would be opposed to is the One-code braille" idea.  Braille
would be going backwards, not forwards.
