Hello Stefan!
Thank you for your comments and I hope you could write the hands in  
this sign...I have attached the video of the sign below...I would love  
to see how you would write the entire sign, including the mouth  
movements!

Of course there are mouth movements. You are absolutely correct on  
that one! And we all see them. smile

And THANK YOU, Stefan, for the developments you have created writing  
Mouth Movements....Your work is groundbreaking and very important.  
Woehrmann's SpeechWriting is really working in Deaf Education and that  
is what matters....

So maybe I should explain about what I say "we write what we see"....

When I say "we write what we see"....that is true, but let me add  
another second phrase..."Each writer must choose WHAT to write, from  
what they see. We do not necessarily write ALL that we see at all  
times. It depends on the purpose of the document and the choice of the  
writer, as to what they write and what they leave out."

So it is a personal choice...

I really like reading the Mouth Movements in German documents and  
dictionaries!

It is true that I do not write all the Mouth Movements I see in  
videos...but that does not mean it is not good to do so...naturally  
you do that because you are working with Deaf children...so each  
writer makes their choices what to leave out...

For example, I write more Facial Expressions when I write SignWriting  
Literature. But for dictionary entries, sometimes Facial Expressions  
can change depending on the sentence in Literature, so sometimes  
placing the Facial Expressions in Dictionary entries is not  
appropriate, depending on the circumstance, or perhaps in the  
dictionary entry we can add different choices of Facial Expressions  
depending on the possible grammar of a sentence...

So here is the sign we are trying to write....can you help us? Val ;-)
