[Sw-l] Could you proofread my ASL signwriting?

Tue Feb 8 23:06:26 UTC 2022

Hi Adam,

Looking at the "22" part in your glyph (see below), there's no wrist
movement. I use the wrist movement when I sign the "22" part.
Do you move your wrist or not? I am wondering if this is a sign variation.
(I'm from the East Coast.)

I look forward to your comment.

Thanks,
Anna Grace
