<DIV>It's not so much that "I don't like" the sign, but I'd like to find the person who wrote the sign to begin with, and verify that they are in fact writing the sign as their hands are doing it. Is it in fact the left hand that they intend to write? This was a constant problem in Brazil, so it may be an editorial process in the U.S. As this was uploaded, I think, from the SW archives, I'm trying to trace back the origin of the writing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A dictionary, for me, should at least be consistent in the use of the left or right hand for display purposes unless signing with the left or right hand actually changes the meaning of the sign, which, at least for now, I have not yet found an example of the same sign using either hand as dominant meaning something different.</DIV>
