Hi Charles, Stefan, Cherie, Val and everyone,

Val wrote: There are three aspects to this:  1. Three Lanes for Role
Shifting and storytelling   2. Writing punctuation that is actually signed
(like speaking punctuation in a spoken language - like saying the word
QUOTE)   3. Writing punctuation that is not signed (not spoken), but used in
written literature, like periods, commas, footnote markers etc. Punctuation
that has no meaning except in written literature.

Val, I answer: 2 and 3.

Stefan, you are right for 2.

For 3, there are standard SW punctuations (not sign language or spoken
language).  But, I do not know some SW punctuations.  I need to learn them.

Val, do you agree with Stefan's written for quote symbols? I mean 3, not 2.
Look at:
