This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
The opening sentence begins:
"The Declaration of Independence, formally titled The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America (in the embossed version but not the original printing), ..."
change "embossed" to "engrossed".
I don't think the editor was referring to a Braille edition. 2001:558:6017:110:FCD0:7FBD:8FE7:19EC (talk) 11:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: considering that "engross" means "interesting", your request makes no sense. "Emboss" does not solely refer to Braille, you may find Paper embossing of interest Cannolis (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
