<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for me, I have a lot of practice writing by
hand with the transcriptions I've been doing... I find it easiest to have
the DVD playing fullscreen while I write the signs in a notebook, and then I
put them into SignPuddle. I don't SignWrite as fast as I write English
(but that might be partly because I erase and rewrite, and erase and rewrite
until I feel it's right); but then, I can't SignPuddle as fast as I can type
English, either. Still, most of my SW is by hand first, and then
on the computer.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I think that this discussion has been very interesting. Mainly
because my sister and brother-in-law have been using SignWriting more and
more. In fact, my brother-in-law just showed me a hand written collage of
writings in which he is practicing. He had called me on the video phone to
see if he was writing signs correctly. He also showed me a hand written
note from my sister to him. They are both at the stage in learning where
they look up the words in the dictionary, which is quite normal for
beginning. As I was writing this, my brother-in-law called me back to ask
me how to write a sign that was not in the dictionary. He had some
difficulty, but he will get the hang of it. I just think it is interesting
he is mostly writing by hand, which is what we have been talking
about. </DIV>
