<div><div dir="auto">Thank you very much! đđ Personally, I find Signwriting is a very inspiring creation because it gives the deaf community a tool to express themselves truthfully and confidently through writing. While Signwritingâs learning curve is steep and there are many other ways to copy signed languages down on paper, Signwriting, I feel, breaks from the confines of a so-called âlinguist labâ and to more deaf communities around the world, perhaps due to the number of materials that people can use to study Signwriting as well as its visual impact. </div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div><img src="cid:16fab9aa88c6ba821f03" style="max-width: 100%;"></div><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">VĂ o Th 5, 16 thg 1, 2020 lĂșc 7:00 SA Valerie Sutton <<a href="mailto:0000001342802f5f-dmarc-request@listserv.valenciacollege.edu">0000001342802f5f-dmarc-request@listserv.valenciacollege.edu</a>> ÄĂŁ viáșżt:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>SignWriting List</div><div>January 15, 2020</div><div><br></div><div>About Cursive Writing ... or SW Handwriting ... or SW Shorthand (wink back, Adam ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>The reason we are smiling at each other is because we used to work with a separate writing method called SignWriting Shorthand versus SignWriting Handwriting, but in recent years the two seem to have blended and people are writing as they wish ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Adam's presentation in 2014: "Ways to Write Sign Languages by Hand with SignWriting" is excellent.

To be honest, there are several different ways to write by hand that writers will use. In fact, it become very individualistic and personal. The main reason is because most writers will write by hand for personal notes, which might be later transferred to the computer to print out for general use. Because of this, there isnât a whole lot of material or even âstandardizationâ on how to write SignWriting by hand.<div><br></div><div>I do a lot of writing by hand myself to the extent that it might not look like SignWriting to some people.
