SignWriting List
September 18, 2008

Thank you, Stefan, for the example.

Since we rarely use these tongues in American Sign Language, it is  
possible that our conversion program did not catch this one...I will  
talk to Steve about it ...

And never worry...remember that computers are here to serve us, not to  
frustrate us!

And I want to thank Steve Slevinski for his unending patience with all  
of us...You are just a genius, Steve, for making this conversion go so  
well...it is totally amazing if this tongue is the only conversion  
problem we have...I think it is just a miracle!

None of us in the ASL area have any problems, and soon the same will  
be true for Germany!

I will write again later when I know more...

Val ;-)
