We owe Ingvild Roald a hearty thanks for informing us of this...I would 
not have realized...so the work to change a few signs is worth it, 
Anny, if it helps people read the signs, and makes it a more positive 
experience...

The psychology of SignSpellings could become a dissertation for someone 
someday! Within the SignSpelling guidelines there are several choices 
for writing each sign that are all correct, from a symbol perspective. 
Some of the spellings "feel better" than others...Since I am just the 
technical-symbol person, I try to leave the "feeling" decisions to the 
signers themselves, since you know your own language...so I can tell 
you what is correct within the symbol-world...and then we can list all 
the possible spellings...and then signers will start using one or the 
other more until it becomes a standard spelling...that standardization 
is beginning to happen, which is rather exciting, don't you 
think?...smile

I think this is what Stefan calls "Gute Gestalt"...is that right, 
Stefan?...

Val ;-)
