Many thanks, Maria, for this suggestion. There is already a SignWriting Facebook page that was not started by me...I did not post it, nor did anyone inform me about posting it (that I remember - ha!)...I actually do not know who started it...smile...but of course I am grateful to all those who did, and to all those who have written so much about SignWriting on that Facebook page - quite amazing!<br>
<br>
I am not sure whether I should join or not (smile)...what is the protocol for such a thing? smile....maybe they will welcome me, I don't know...smile...<br>
<br>
I do not want to start another SignWriting Facebook page, because that could be confusing to the public...so I will write to some of the people involved to find out how they feel about this...<br>
<br>
Meanwhile they took an article from Wikipedia about SignWriting, and there are some inaccuracies in that article, but I do not know who to talk to about it...<br>
<br>
So just go to Facebook and search for SignWriting and start joining and posting ...that might help a lot...<br>
<br>
Meanwhile...<br>
<br>
I already have a Facebook page for Valerie Sutton... for at least a year if not longer...but guess what? There are over 99 Valerie Suttons on Facebook!...I never realized how many people are named Valerie Sutton, but there are a lot of them...So if you try to find me it might be hard...grin...<br>
<br>
So Maria - do you have a Facebook page? I will look now....smile...<br>
<br>
Val ;-)<br>
