I make daily use of SW in shorthand.
I took a part of Adam presentation from the link -
https://www.signwriting.org/symposium/presentation0003.html#abstract

Another friend from Ethiopia also made some cursive hand shapes, which I
copied. Some forms I invented myself to facilitate my registration.
Last month I did a translation that I will record a video in ASL and before
recording I wrote everything with SW shorthand, and then I recorded it. So
I use it daily, and I know many others around the world use it too.
