I just found out that Steve Slevinski is planning to include, in the new SignPuddle 2.0, a way to automatically colorize different parts of a sentence, and also a default color for any sign that is a proper name...So for those who have computers, color is an option...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And offcially, the underline is the official symbol for a proper name when writing horizontally -</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Many thanks!!
