No, I was using it in a note to someone else here at school.  It is 
similar to mine though, mine is CW on the side of the chin...  That's the 
reason I asked about point of contact making a difference, because many 
people 'mispronounce' my name sign--  they contact with the thumb to the 
chin, when it should be the index finger to the chin.

was how I wrote that.
Thanks for all your help!
If you're wondering about my slow response, The list messages come to my 
work computer, and I don't see them on the weekend.

Which of these would be more correct (or did I mess up already?::smile::)? 
 Its a name sign... 

Hello Cherie, Charles and Everyone!
Of course you did not mess up, Cherie...Quite the contrary! I think you 
wrote the sign very well...

And thanks to Charles for your message...

Have you seen this writing rule on the web, Cherie?

Always Write the Position of Contact
http://signwriting.org/lessons/elessons/less063.html

See the attached diagram. Following the rule above, the first writing that 
you did is more correct, because it tells the reader where both contacts 
occur...no guessing!

There is however, one other way to write the sign, and I have attached it 
to this message. Because we write down in vertical columns a lot, placing 
the two positions vertically is also acceptable...

Since this is a Sign-Name, you can ask the person how they feel about 
writing it horizontally or vertically...Is it your Name Sign? ;-)
