sign for Trinity College Dublin

SignWriting List

Hi Shane and Gabriel!

Thanks for your input Shane...I will leave the choices of the signs  
you wish to write, to both of you...I just write anything people ask  
me about...so it is not for me to choose what signs are correct for  
your languages...

So maybe you should send the video, Shane, of the signs you prefer, to  
Gabriel, and you can make a decision together...

Then, if there are other signs you need to write in SignWriting, go  
right ahead and post them to the list and we will write them together...

These issues of which signs are correct and which ones are not, always  
come up in dictionary-making...it is a hard issue, because everyone  
has strong feelings about the signs they use and know...that is  
totally understandable. That is why a really good dictionary should  
have all the different signs and variations and dialects in the  
dictionary for people to learn and choose from...

I hope, Gabriel, that you will continue to write in the ISL SignPuddle  
and continue to ask questions...

And I hope you are doing well, Shane, in Amsterdam!

Great to hear from you again, and to also hear from writers in  
Ireland...I am happy to have contact with Dublin again!

Val ;-)
