[sw-l] Which SignSpelling is best?

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Val, Stuart, Stefan and all -

I would also prefer the first.

The double white palms at the start seem natural.  When I see the second
version, I feel as though I'm looking down rather than forward. Looking
forward is more natural.

How this sign is written by hand would be a matter of personal taste.

If I was trying to find a sign in a dictionary, I would start looking under
the while palms.  If I couldn't find it there, I would look for possible
symbol synonyms.  I guess a good dictionary would have the sign under both
so it is easier to find by IMWA symbol search and sort.

How many IMWA symbol synonyms are there anyway?  I've know about them, but
never really researched this aspect of the IMWA.

-Stephen

Hi Valerie, Stuart and all –

I would prefer the first one (although there is this shift in perspective
from front view to top view -)

I got used to it but do not care if the sign is written the other way.
