I'm a 2nd year student at Middlesex University on their new Deaf Studies
degree programme, which is run in collaboration with City Lit's Centre
for Deaf People. As part of my Introduction to BSL Level 3 module last
year I did a little comparison of Stokoe and SignWriting in an essay.
Preparation for which included creating a glossary of IT terms using
Stokoe notation as coursework for another module. For a short while I was
very good at parsing those funny Stokoe squiggles but without constant
exposure that knowledge has completely evaporated whereas I can follow the
gist of written SignWriting even though I've not completed Valerie's
training materials.

Regards, Trevor
