Val answers:
I didn't realize that was Stuart's question...I thought he was asking 
how to actually write the sign...So, Stuart, as soon as I know how you 
are choosing to write the sign for GRACE, I will be happy to go over 
how to enter the SignSpelling into SignBank.

Your SignSpelling description sounds good Charles:

1) Wedge hand facing forward.
2) In front of shoulder
3) Turning around (whether explicitly shown or not)
4) Moving across
5) Ending with final handshape and position.

That is the SignSpelling for some of the versions I wrote - ha! I will 
be happy to go over the SignSpelling Guidelines, as soon as we know how 
Stuart is writing it....So I wait for your reply, Stuart...What is your 
final writing of GRACE?
