that's exactly what I do!! it's a great way to control things!

I'll do that and ask how other do!

in Valerie's message there's a solution about it... using signbank for
official dictoinnaries... (I let you read her message)

but then you'll still have people who are not happy with it... for
example in Switzerland.. there are many differences between the signers
of the different provinces... and a signer from Geneva might not have
the same sign than a signer from Lausanne or Nauchâtel (towns in other
provinces..) it's quite difficult to have everyone  Ok with one
sign...!

that's my opinion too... and I think it's a great way to get peolpe
discover SW and practicing on this beautiful notation system!
