Time will surely tell. >Deb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Deb - People read left-handed and right-handed SignWriting without noticing that it is one or the other. It is exactly like communicating directly with someone while signing - people don't notice if the other person is a lefty or a righty! So reading and writing SignWriting is just a mirror of life - it just records what "happens". When you start teaching your students SignWriting in September, you will notice that everyone can read the right-handed documents, even if they are left-handed. But you and your left-handed students will write your own notes as you sign them - left-handed :-) Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting https://www.SignWriting.org The DAC, Deaf Action Committee for SW Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
