SignWriting List
July 5, 2007

Hello Cherie!
Your document is excellent..so exciting to read it!

And even if my ASL understanding is limited when it comes to details,  
I understood it fully while watching the video without sound. I think  
this is going to be a fun publication for future classrooms of Deaf  
students, and may spark much interest from signers who do not know  
SignWriting.

Since our other four editors are so busy right now, I think I will  
leave any ASL issues to them when they do their own editing...

Right now, I am solely reading your documents for SignWriting symbols  
themselves...and so far I have only found a couple of Rotation  
Symbols...

I know...those symbols I promised to teach you long ago!.... and you  
have struggled with for so long...maybe now we can tackle that...

And when it comes to the sign for QUOTE in the beginning that i  
suggested...maybe I was wrong there. Afterall, it was not in your  
video, and just because Darline signed it that way does not mean you  
did or would want to...So feel free to do what you want with that  
issue...and also the fingerspelling going left to right or vertically  
down...that is also your choice...

So I am taking a new tactic on the editing...I am only looking for  
signs where the SignWriting symbols might need editing...but I will  
not read the document for meaning...I am going to leave that to the  
other editors...

So next message, I am going to highlight some of the Rotation Symbol  
issues...

Val ;-)
