I know there will be solutions someday because for example in Brazil they've already requested at least 30 new handshapes that they would like to add to the ISWA. Kind of amazing huh? Working with so many languages has created an amazing experience of international cooperation, which I love.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">“to V or not to V” is a wonderful take on the Shakespearean line from Hamlet "to be or not to be”!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But what does the V mean to you?
