This writer chooses to write stick figures with heads, just as they still do in Denmark… As you can see, SignWriting is used differently around the world. It began as a full stick figure writing system and evolved into a system that generally does not use stick figures…but this is not true for everyone - stick figures are very sophisticated. They look like drawings but really, in the case of SignWriting, are not, because this writer is writing Honduran Sign Language from video as a language - The stick figure helps to anchor the writing for some writers...Thank you, Jonathan, for sharing this photo…</div><div><br></div><div><img height="694" width="925" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="c23c5fd4-b280-4716-81d9-a4112b251739" src="cid:6296C341-90FF-4D9E-ABCB-81BDECC93BFE"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
