Writing Number 16 in ASL

Wed Aug 22 19:24:34 UTC 2007

Thats it exactly!  Thank you!  Thats why I say I don't like 
standardization, except for things like page numbers.  Those are read for 
reading, so they can be standardized, I have no problem with that.  But 
the main story is read for production, in that there are so many ways I 
can make a slight modification to the sign, and it will make a big 
difference in meaning...  so you can't standardize that.   You used the 
perfect words, thank you!

Re: [sw-l] Writing Number 16 in ASL

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. :)

I like the top right one, 10 and 6 with no rotation symbols. If you have 
the starting and ending positions, then you don't need the rotation 
symbol, thats one thing I learned from Cat in the Hat and 'WOW'   ::grin:: 

 I also tend to sign it with the thumb tucked down with the rest of the 
hand, rather than sticking out, but writing it that way might confuse the 
issue.  I do not generally support the automatic standardization of 
spelling for signs, but for page numbers, I would.  The purpose of page 
numbers is to quickly and easily find specific information, so if they are 
not standardized, then you would have to stop and think about 'why is this 
with an A instead of a 10?' and get distracted from your purpose.

[sw-l] Writing Number 16 in ASL

SignWriting List
August 22, 2007

Everyone -
Here are four ways that the number 16 could be written...

I am curious...

which one would you choose?

When we are using the numbers as page numbers (very tiny at the  
bottom of each page), is the Rotation Arrow really necessary?

Is it ever necessary in this case, since we are writing both hand  
positions anyway?

I look forward to your answers!  Val ;-)
