NORTHERN IRELAND Writing Numbers

Dear SW List, Shane, and everyone in Northern Ireland!
In a few email messages now, I will write some of the numbers from  
Northern Ireland Sign Language...and please give me feedback, Shane!

First, in ASL, we have a number 11 which is similar to some of the  
movements in the numbers from Northern Ireland. Here are two ways to  
write the ASL number 11...Notice how I am adding a second variation  
of the same sign, in our ASL SignPuddle. The second variation is more  
detailed, but useful for researchers and people who do not know ASL.  
So I am placing the simpler version as the first choice, and the more  
detailed version as the second choice...I will do that in your  
Northern Ireland SignPuddle too, Shane, and that will give you the  
best of both worlds...You will still be able to send email in  
Northern Ireland signs, using the simpler first version. See next  
message for Northern Ireland signs...
