<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#ffff00 size=6> I
"assume" that if I use a standard rule (Step 1), I look at the sign
(image) and fingers don't look in a real life. I look for changing the
fingers (Step 2). Here is my attachment (SQUIRREL (ASL), LOSE (ASL) and
HAMBURGER (LSQ).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

that I understand what the difference is between a standard rule and

sign.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#ffff00 size=6> Stefan, I
don't mean that writers follow a standard rule (STEP 1 and STEP 2). You
don't need it. I mean that I am trying to understand better. Thumb

Readers look at this sign (image) which show a black palm of the
right hand is facing down and fingers of the right hand
is pointing down while a white palm of the left hand is facing up and
fingers of the left hand is pointing up. I believe that
readers "assume" that their palms and fingers look like in
a real life (not a standard rule). It seems to me that Val mentioned
that this sign is
incorrect.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Andre!</DIV>
<DIV>I think your writing of ALLIGATOR is perfect! It is clear from the side
view...I really like it...So please do not say that I said that was
incorrect...I never said that!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Your writing IS correct from the side view.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>There are around four ways that you can write the sign for ALLIGATOR and
both of our ways are correct, depending on the viewpoint you take...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Writing from the side view makes sense sometimes, when it is hard to
write it from another point of view...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Your writing of Alligator is fine...please see attached diagram...I hope
you can see my diagrams?</DIV>
