#
# Remarks: this table is largely based following the conventions as set in the ONCE
# international manual for contracted (abbreviated) Spanish grade 2 stenography manual
# published in 1998, by Mª del Carmen Galíndez González, available at
# https://www.foal.es/es/biblioteca/curso-de-estenograf%C3%AD. The official Spanish
# dictionary (RAE 23rd edition, 2017 update) was used for the check up of several things,
# including contraction combinations, to check whether words existed in the language and
# so on. Found at http://dle.rae.es/. A few other secondary sources as well as answers to
# numerous questions to skilled braille readers in different blindness braille Spanish
# social media groups have also been used for completeness. The listed reference is the
# latest dated one which had no conflicts or inconsistencies that could be found. For
# example, another unpublished online reference dated 2006 did exist in Colombia, however
# the entire text was already in grade 2 form, rendering it rather useless. It's important
# to note that this table is provided as a convenience only since there are currently
# (present year 2018) no official editorials or organizations which offer Spanish grade 2
# texts or books. However, the original creator feels that abreviated forms of reading and
# writing are a key asset in any language, if not at least for personal use. Due that
# there are some officially published sources in Spanish grade 2 it would be a shame to
# let all of those world concerted efforts disappear and never make its way into modern
# times or technology. Even though commercially renowned packages like Duxbury do support
# abbreviated Spanish, various tests and readers have found it outdated and not always
# corrrectly implemented even as of version 12.3 in present year 2018. Open sourcing the
# grade 2 code will hopefully prevent this from happening and will keep braille moving
# forward. Usual disclaimer: of course, everyone who rigorously tested the table and
# improved its opcodes, etc. has done their best so that rules and signs are represented
# clearly and accurately, but cannot accept any responsibility for any errors or problems
# the user may encounter in applying it to his or her work. So reporting of any of those
# is always encouraged.
