Writing Number 16 in ASL

[CWren at DOE.K12.GA.US]

I like the top right one, 10 and 6 with no rotation symbols. If you have 
the starting and ending positions, then you don't need the rotation 
symbol, thats one thing I learned from Cat in the Hat and 'WOW'   ::grin::

 I also tend to sign it with the thumb tucked down with the rest of the 
hand, rather than sticking out, but writing it that way might confuse the 
issue.  I do not generally support the automatic standardization of 
spelling for signs, but for page numbers, I would.  The purpose of page 
numbers is to quickly and easily find specific information, so if they are 
not standardized, then you would have to stop and think about 'why is this 
with an A instead of a 10?' and get distracted from your purpose.

[sw-l] Writing Number 16 in ASL

Everyone -
Here are four ways that the number 16 could be written...

I am curious...

which one would you choose?

When we are using the numbers as page numbers (very tiny at the 
bottom of each page), is the Rotation Arrow really necessary?

Is it ever necessary in this case, since we are writing both hand 
positions anyway?

I look forward to your answers!  Val ;-)
