this afternoon I spent a lot of time preparing new SW texts for my friends. Thanks to your lesson I rewrote the numbers from 1 to 20 Another problem occured - so - I would like to present this issue numbers DGS -SW 1. What about eleven ? Is there anywhere an arrow for axial movement that circles only 45 ° ? The beginning position : hand parallel to the floor; back of the hand up - axial movement - endposition : back of the hand faces the right side-wall (as I wrote in the SW -file) 2. As you can see I took the arrow (ö - key- German keyboard) underneath - hopefully most people would accept that? 3. There are different possibilities how to use the circle -forward arrows. Itīs perhaps more a question of design (possibly not ??) but - is it ok - the way I wrote the circles (left- right hand ?) 4. Another way to sign 20, 30 , 40 ... is to close the fingers two times at the middle-joints I tried to express this with the two dots . 5. Is there anything you would ask me to write in another way? Thank you very much. Stefan ;-) Ps We started at school with writing SW by hand. Hopefully next week Iīll present a little report and some original handwritten examples. Itīs a completely new experience to all of us. We do realize that we use our expressive possibilities sooooo differently. We look at each other very carefully. We collect the different signs for birthday, friend or tomorrow .... We realize that my Deaf pupils never ever before formulated their contributions , their ideas in such a monitored way. Funny to see our shaking hands - when we start over and over again to try "natural signing " .. Just sign as you feel ..donīt worry about accurat DGS- grammar Thatīs not so easy - especially if there are others sitting around with their pencils at hands and prepared to write down what they see ... or what they believed was signed ??? So it comes to a completely new issue - we never thought about before. In order to write a message to somebody else - we have to understand first what we try to write. Some of my pupils are fluent signers - but feel not secure in DGS grammar. Writing SW helps all of us to view the differences between the two languages. I `m confident that this will improve the expressive skills as well German. ----- Original Message ----- From: Valerie Sutton To: Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 3:32 PM Subject: Re: rotation movement -DGS numbers At 2:14 PM +0200 5/7/00, Stefan Woehrmann wrote: >Hello Valerie, >thank you so much for the detailed and quick answer.

Yes. Each computer format has different applications. GIFs give an immediate visual picture inside email. That has a value that can never be replaced. PDF's give us "portable document exchange"...that is invaluable for larger documents than cannot be made into one .GIF. PDF also solves some of the problems we were having with printing in SignWriter 4.3 ... And database programs will solve other needs... But the central core to all this work is still the SignWriter Computer Program. Without it, none of these other formats would be useful to us.... So each computer format has "its place" and its uses...
