I just got through watching the Nicaraguan segment on 60 Minutes II. Interesting. I really would have liked to have seen some signwriting somewhere. I was too busy reading the captions to really look around much. Did anyone see anything on the walls of the school? I did notice that there were a couple signs very similar if not identical to ASL. But they seemed to have been made by the reporter or in response to the reporter. For instance, at the end of the segment there was a "thank you"/ "you're welcome" exchange that was just like ASL. But I'm not sure if that was the Nicaraguan sign or if it was an attempt by the reporter to use ASL, perhaps under the assumption that sign language is "universal"? I know I'm writing this a bit ahead of the Pacific crowd. Sorry. :-) Bill Reese Valerie Sutton wrote: > SignWriting List > April 25, 2000 > 5:30 pm California time > > Hi Everyone - > I just called CBS (an American TV broadcasting company) at 1-800-934-6397. > > If you live on the east coast of the US, then the "60 Minutes II" TV > program about the Nicaraguan deaf children is starting in a half > hour....at 9:00pm. > > If you live on the west coast, it is starting in three and a half > hours, at 9:00pm. > > CBS is selling video copies of the Nicaraguan program for $29.95, so > I ordered copies for the DAC.
