And it doesn’t even have a way to write the head movements that you were just asking about. In fact, there are a lot of things that don’t really have a correlation between the two. I honestly thing that the comparison that Valerie showed is really good to show how the two are for two different purposes.<div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 16, 2014, at 9:25 PM, Valerie Sutton <<a href="mailto:signwriting@MAC.COM">signwriting@MAC.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">SignWriting List<div class="">December 16, 2014</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hi André -</div><div class="">I guess I could make a little video showing the head movements if you would like.
