You are right that a lot of signs that <br>> originally were meant to touch, are not really contacted in real <br>> signing, but that is still the general intention...<br><br>Makes sense to me.

I think I'm going to use that one in the book. :-)<br>Thanks, Val!<br>KJ<br> <br>> Nancy Romero writes very simply too...she takes off all single <br>> contact symbols if at all possible, and only used contact symbols for <br>> double or multiple movements where it is really necessary...so the <br>> second writing attached would appeal to Nancy's style of writing as <br>> well...the sign can still be read with or without the brush symbol...<br>> <br>> Val ;-)<br>> <br>> <br><br /><hr />Express yourself with free Messenger emoticons. <a href='http://www.freemessengeremoticons.ca/?icid=EMENCA122' target='_new'>Get them today!</a></body>
