Hi again, I've done some more thinking. I had a question a while back, about the problem when the thumb is not in the same plane as the other fingers - say the others are nicely lined up in the same plane as the palm, pointing up, and the thumb is straigt towards you. Then maybe the dots are a good solution - I think this will have to be worked on for a while, tried out with sign writing children and adults, to see what works. If both versions could be in the next (?) computer program, we could try it from there, but finally, I would wish us to have a common system, even if different sign languages have slightly different interpretations/ articulations for the same symbols, they would be close. Then the sign languages would not be in the mess that the spoken languages are, with different alphabets and different pronounciations of the same letter or letter groups within the same alphabet. But we have a long way ahead... Ingvild >From: Valerie Sutton >To: >Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 12:25 AM >Subject: OK!
