<div>Hello all:</div>
<div>please sign me up, too -- I know I'll need to have better hand-writing skills when I begin that college-level ASL course later on this month! I tend to take lots of notes during class, but the teachers don't expect anybody to be taking notes (since it "is not a written language", feh) and so Signwritten "chicken scratch" is what my class notebooks usually end up looking like.
</div>
<div>Yes, Shane, trying to read the old German Schrift feels exactly like peering at chicken scratches so far's I'm concerned! Very aesthetic chickens though; the old handwriting can be very beautiful.</div>
