It is really the writer’s preference. I personally don’t underline proper nouns just because I don’t really feel there is a need for it. That could just be because I know ASL very well, so I know when something is a proper noun and when it isn’t even if it were to be the same sign in both cases. Something to think about. :-)<div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br><div><div>On Aug 13, 2014, at 5:16 AM, Madson Barreto <<a href="mailto:barretobh@GMAIL.COM">barretobh@GMAIL.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Valerie and everyone</div><div><br></div><div>I just read a Joe Martin's paper and he said about the in Nicaraguan Sign Language that around 1998 has a orthographic rule that said to underline proper names for differ of common names/ simple names.</div>
