Hi Kelly Jo -
Even if you do not touch, the sign still is relating to touching the  
chin area, and some people do touch, so Writing the Position of  
Contact Rule still applies. You are right that a lot of signs that  
originally were meant to touch, are not really contacted in real  
signing, but that is still the general intention...

That is why I wrote it with a Brush Symbol because I have seen some  
people brush, but even if the Brush symbol were removed the first  
position would still be written...

Writing the second position is only related to signs with Finger  
Movements...

For example, here it is with and without a Brush Symbol...the second  
one certainly is a simpler writing - I like that - so thanks for the  
good idea to make it simple.... ;-))

Nancy Romero writes very simply too...she takes off all single  
contact symbols if at all possible, and only used contact symbols for  
double or multiple movements where it is really necessary...so the  
second writing attached would appeal to Nancy's style of writing as  
well...the sign can still be read with or without the brush symbol...

Val ;-)
