Valerie - For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents worth: >1. Do you feel that color coding of SignWriting symbols is a good idea? >Does it help to learn the SW symbols? I'm not visually oriented - I'm very much auditorily oriented - so color coding would be lost on me. But it wouldn't bother me if it were color coded. For those of you who are sensitive to color, and perhaps especially for children, it might be a very good idea. I think the only way to learn the SW symbols is to read them and use them a lot. Don't know if it would help anyone learn them per se. > >2. Were my choices of colors logical to you? Or would you have chosen >different colors? Again, I'm not the one to answer that one. I guess I'm used to seeing punctuation black, so the idea of yellow seems odd. Yes, warning signs are yellow, but the words on them are black. > >One person suggested that we put the color coding in our dictionaries. >Another person suggested that the actual children's stories should be >written in color coding. Right now they are in one solid color, as on this >page: > >Goldilocks, Intermediate >https://www.SignWriting.org/gold001.html > >3. So do you all feel that the stories themselves, or our dictionaries, >should be color coded? I think I would just do it for the children's stories. But then that's just one opinion. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks. - Wayne Smith (in Taiwan) P.S. If anyone is interested in what I'm doing here, I have a web page with pictures at: www.a-tech.net/WayneSmith/ I mention SignWriting in one of my updates included on the site. | ||||||||||||
