SignWriting List
September 18, 2008

Hi Stefan -
Yes...I actually think you may be correct on this...it is a long  
story, but long ago, before I started working on the ISWA, I made a  
change in the IMWA in that area...and I do really think it is related  
to that but I need to check to make sure...

No matter what, we will help you fix it...if you want me to go in and  
fix all the signs myself I will!

We have a beautiful new symbolset now, called the ISWA 2008, and I  
want to enjoy it and be grateful to the Good Lord that we have had  
this opportunity to share new ideas...

So let me check to see when this change was made and get back to you -  
and then we can see what we can do to fix it...

Val ;-)
