<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thank you Adam too!!<br></div>Yes I agree with Valerie that the speed of SignWriting ASL is amazing :) It can almost confidently be said that there is a growing pool of skilled and fast SignWriters! <br>
Adam, I have forwarded your sentence to Terry also- you come up with an interesting aspect of translation and the differences between languages/modality. If Terry does publish any article I am sure he will be making it available, so I'll keep you posted. Thanking you very much on his behalf.<br>

Hello Adam!</div><div>This is so cool…Thank you for writing your version and for explaining about writing ASL grammar and passive forms and ASL syntax … Yours and Nancy's translations and writings are similar - very true - which makes it even more interesting for Terry Joyce's thesis -</div>
<div><br></div><div>Maria…can you send both writings and explanations to Terry Joyce?</div><div><br></div><div>I think the speed of getting two such examples so quickly is remarkable and then such detailed explanations - smile -</div>

<br><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">I personally had a hard time thinking of how to write this sentence into ASL since "written" is in the passive form and ASL syntax handles passive statements in a very different fashion than most people would think. I was trying to think how I would have signed the same concept were I talking with my friends. I couldn't really think how I would do it. I did, however, come up with the writing. (And it isn't that much different from the sentence that Nancy wrote, albeit not expanding on "ASL" or shortening "SignWriting".)<div>
