The Braille Authority of New Zealand Aotearoa Trust (BANZAT) has announced the results of a nationwide survey within the Braille user community regarding formatting of the word Braille in New Zealand English. A clear majority expressed a desire for the word Braille to be capitalised in all situations, regardless of whether it is being used as a proper noun or not.
In respecting the wishes of those for whom Braille is their literacy medium, BANZAT recommends that this practice be adopted in all documents or instances where the word Braille occurs.
