<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Most of the movement, the 'fishtailing,'
comes from the wrist flexing. The back end of the car is going all
over (wrist flexes) while the car is continuing to move forward. I
included the wrist flexes because they are the primary motion. I
suppose I don't really need them, since I put the different hand facings
in there... Like I said a while ago, I struggle with how much information
is 'just enough' and how much is too much. </font>

Hello Cherie and Everyone!<br>
I am sooo glad you are testing and using SignText. Today I am working <br>
with our SignBank programmer, Todd Duell, so it is great that you are <br>
giving Steve feedback, which I cannot at the moment...smile...<br>
<br>
Regarding this sign, Cherie (see attached)...<br>
<br>
What does it mean? smile...<br>
<br>
The description "mouth open teeth neutral" was my way of explaining
<br>
that you see the teeth, but the teeth are not chattering, or biting <br>
or grinding...they are just in plain view without any extra movement! <br>
So we use that symbol whenever the teeth are an important part of the <br>
sign...so I think it is fine!! If it looks like it, use it! smile...<br>
<br>
Why the wrist flexing in this sign? It just looks like a palm-facing <br>
change, which you can see by the hand positions you wrote, so the <br>
wrist-flexing symbols are not necessary, unless you really want wrist <br>
flexing? Or are you trying to write rotations? Rotations are a <br>
different symbol. But anyway, I suspect the handshape changes are <br>
clear without any extra rotation symbols....smile...<br>
<br>
<br>
