Take fingerspelling for example. When the writing is vertical, it flows better to have the fingerspelling vertical as well.<div>

<blockquote type="cite">Hi!
I'm working on a presentation about Non Manual Signals, particularly mouth
morphemes, and want to know if writing a mouth movement that changes
during the course of one sign as a series of connected heads is acceptable.
I've attached an example of the ASL sign for FINISH, as it appears in the
phrase FINISH EXPERIENCE (to have experienced a particular activity).
Thanks,
Natasha Escalada-Westland
