Single-Letter Contractions

I've been having blogging problems on certain computers so I haven't been able to update in a couple of weeks. Well, I've been praticing contractions and I have them down pretty good. The book i'm learning braille out of shows some examples of contractions but i'm sure there are more in braille reading. In the last week I have started working on single-letter contractions. Single-letter contractions are letters of the alphabet which are used to represent WHOLE WORDS when they stand alone. For example, the braille letter b  standing alone represents the word but. I couldn't find many examples on online but heres the best one I've seen.

Cool Braille

I've been looking around on the internet and found some pretty cool things in braille that I thought people might be interested in seeing or knowing about.
