<div>Me too -- I would LOVE to see video clips of people doing this chant! So far, the video clips I've seen from the protest seem to show almost everything else ...</div>
<div>this is why I hate glossing so much.</div>
<div>I keep seeing the glossed version of this chant, but not yet the actual way people are signing it.</div>
<div>Here's two sites with links to video clips about the protest ...</div>

In the first instance Gally is united all over (not just here): and in the second instance Gally is united again (and will always be). Stuff in parentheses is implied, not explicit.

<br>> official symbols.<br>><br>> The Shorthand that you saw on the Gallaudet poster is quite similar <br>> to SignWriting...it looks like a direct take from SignWriting, but <br>> it might also be a blend of other notation systems that people
<br>> develop for themselves personally, like Bernard Bragg's, which <br>> Stuart just mentioned...You would be amazed how many personal <br>> notation systems look a little like SignWriting...that is a good <br>

<br>> hope so! For those who want ASL to be respected, I would think <br>> writing the language would become more and more important as time <br>> goes on -<br>><br>> Thanks for your postings, Stuart and Kim!
