<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Yesterday morning I woke up and turned on my computer. I had a cup of
coffee in my hand and started to read my email. I read a "Google
Alert" telling me that a press release about SignWriting had been posted
on the web. It was the National Association of Police and Lay Charities group,
the NALPC, that had posted the press release, which I mentioned to you
yesterday. After I posted that message to all of you...around 5 minutes
later...the telephone rang, and it was the Channel 10 ABC local San Diego news
channel. The reporter had read the press release on the web, and wanted to do a
story within the next 2 hours, for a local news program that same night...She
wanted to interview Deaf people in my office and why they would want to write
sign language, and since it was around 9:00 in the morning, and I work out of
my home, there were no Deaf friends in my office at that time! I called a Deaf
friend, but their tty was not on...Nancy Romero was kind enough to drive
immediately to my home. Within 2 hours of the telephone call, we were being
interviewed on camera...The small TV spot that resulted was only around a
minute long on the news last night, and it went so fast I am sure that most
people only got a tiny idea of what SignWriting is...The transcript, which is attached,
is not perfect. The questions that were asked of us in the interview were
mostly "why would anyone want to write sign language when they can write
English?". We answered that same question many times. I pointed out that
SignWriting was developed to preserve, read and write beautiful languages,
signed languages, but it was not meant to replace any other language...and of
course everyone wants to learn other languages...and it is useful to be able to
read and write different languages...etc etc etc...you all know this...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
