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

If I were to write what I did in the video, I would write it like this:


To be honest, I don’t see how to correctly use the scissoring movement with that handshape because the fingers aren’t spread apart – one is hinged forward. So to bring them together would require a hinge movement rather than just closing a spread apart finger.

Maybe you can send us a video of what you are indenting to write and we can help you write it. :-)
