Hi all,

This is the first time I've tried submitting a patch since the switch to 
Git. I wonder if this method is optimal:

I found errors in three words:

Crosstree should not use the st sign

Midafternoon should use the afternoon sign

Middorsal should not use the dd sign in my opinion

I made changes to /etc/brltty/en-us-g2.ctb. I saved the file and ran 
brltty-ctb to test it. (I don't run brltty itself because I haven't bothered 
to unsnarl the USB support in Cygwin.) When I verified my changes do what I 
want I did:

diff -c Tables/en-us-g2.ctb /etc/brltty/en-us-g2.ctb > Crosstree.patch

Because I have a bunch of private rules I don't think are robust enough or 
correct enough to inflict on others, I then edited Crosstree.patch and 
deleted lines following the last valid hunk. I tested the patch file with:

patch -p0 <Crosstree.patch

It updated the file in Tables which was what I wanted so I think this file 
is working properly. Is there anything different I should do to make things 
more reliable or aesthetic?

HTH,
