Writing Number 16 in ASL

[Stuart Thiessen]

It could be confusing, but only during this phase where we don't have  
anything decided about these issues. Once a spelling became  
standardized, then it would be the expected spelling ... whichever  
one is picked. :) For me, I can read either one. When I read for  
production, the written form says to stick my thumb out, but it feels  
wrong.  When I read for reading :), I mentally comprehend the 10+6  
and move on. So you could have issues either way. It will just come  
down to us making a decision about it. :)
