didnīt take your day off !!! ha ) hi Angus, *Joe ;-) and everybody.. When I saw the contribution from Angus (lucky and Chili pepper) the first time - I thought - great chance to check my reading abilities - Iīm not interested in learning the ASL - sign - no - Iīm just interested to find out - can I perform this movement. I didnīt want to bother anybody - so I asked Angus privately. I offered a variety of possibilities in order to allow him to check that version that offers enough information to be undestood by an "uninformed reader " (s.b. who doesnīt know the meaning or the SL where this movement is taken from) All I had in mind was to understand the idea - what movement is meant. The second sign - I call it " lucky NM stages " was written now differently - back of hand facing the signer - ("black") So Angus decided to change the writing , he added the line that everybody knows where to put the thumb. Now this sign can hardly be misinterpreted . (Just one thing Angus - I donīt understand why you donīt allow the "happy" facial expression I suggested ? (hihihihi ;-) ) My students would appriciate this big smile as a kind of additional information to distinguish this sign from others . What I learn from this is that it is worth to ask back. Now - there was another sign , that causes much more problems next message Stefan ;-) | |||||
