Re: your article about the spread of Braille, our local hospital has [or at least used to have] an ingenious system in the lifts. The floor numbers were in Braille but on separate, non-functioning buttons the exact size and shape of the proper buttons you have to press which was next to them. How is a blind person to know?

Is the terminology "Most Popular" really suitable for the most read/visited news stories? The word popular generally implies some sort of approval or affection for the subject. Every time I see a story relating to murder or rape I find it a little disconcerting for it to be listed as popular. On the news stores themselves it is good to see the use of the term "share" instead of "like" or "+1" as these would be very inappropriate for some stories.
