[sw-l] which is better: handwritten or printed?

[Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa]

Sandy,

Im smiling cos you're using the London dialect ;)

It doesn’t exist in Belfast so it took me back to my university years in
London when I try and work out what my interpreters says - and they ll try
not to cry when they try and work out my Belfast dialect! :o

It was meant to be a M.C.S. for "always traveling everywhere" - I believe
the BSL sign for "travel" is the same one as the sign for "transport"

But excellent diagram although - I like it - it have a personal touch to it
- you're better at it than me!

Keep up your handwritten diagram! I know how the Chinese feel when they say
they prefer their Chinese handwritten very well than printed.

Val, I find myself doing the handwritten version faster than I do with the
computer - is it a good thing or what?

JAMES: are your books printed using the handwritten version or the printed
version? Just wondering...

Shane
