Pocket works for me

[Charles Butler]

I like the pocket, it's how I would write it. You need both lines to show the 
hip.

Hi Valerie, 

Yes, I agree - when I read a document, a single Shoulder Line means a
Shoulder, not a Hip ... to write under the Hip  or close to the Hip and to
indicate that the sign is performed pretty low , I always write the Shoulder
Line and the Hip Line ... But ( and that is the reason for my answer I allow
myself some flexible positioning of the two lines in order to feel
comfortable with the "design" of the specific sign... 

What do you think of this spelling of "pocket"   Hosentasche 


Stefan ;-)

Yes - when I read a document, a single Shoulder Line means a Shoulder, not a
Hip, since we had that problem back in 1984 and made that rule because our
Deaf newspaper writers were mis-reading each other's writings - so when I
said "strict" I meant that is the rule we follow here... to write under the
Hip, we require both the Shoulder Line and the Hip Line to be written...

How do you write the Hips versus the Shoulders? Do you have some examples
without the Shoulder Line that you feel are read clearly?...I would be happy
to see them -

Val ;-)
