Writing Number 16 in ASL

[Adam Frost]

LOL. Very good point. Do we write the full number as signed, shorten it, or by digits by pairs or not? I personally would vote for pairing the digits. I think that 67 could be read with just a tilted 6. (I don't have access to SignPuddle to show you what I mean). 22 could be written with a down 2 and a right arrow. Just a thought. :-)

of course, the question then becomes, how would you sign 367?  As a page number...  Are you going to use the more formal 3C, or 3with closing dots...  and will you add the upward twist to 67?  What about 22?  will you just show one number with a movement arrow, or two palm down 2s?  What about 1367?  How are we going to standardize this?!   ::runs screaming::  Sorry, its been a long day....
