problem in the symbol list

[Charles Butler]

Try this.  It's all in how the thumb is projecting.  If it's projecting to the side, it's shown to the side when possible.  If pointing toward the reader it can be shown as a circle or to the side for clarity.
   
  If I'm wrong with the flat hand, point it out to me, but I think this is the system I learned.

Ha! Is that what you were talking about?! There is nothing wrong with 
any of those symbols...the thumbs lower like that are still 
correct...I was planning to get them all in the middle of the palm, 
but didn't get to fixing them yet, but I can still read the ones that 
have the thumb lower...those thumbs are still protruding 
forward...but you are right that the symbols should be the same in 
all rotations and you can see that I started the first one and then 
didn't get to fixing them all...These symbols take a lot of time for 
me to prepare...and we have close to 30,000 of them now...so it is 
not surprising that things get forgotten along the way...Thanks for 
pointing that out to me...here is a screen capture of what I see when 
I download SignText and use it offline...So I believe we are seeing 
the same...
