THE CON IS THAT IT IS VERY CUMBERSOME TO WRITE WITHOUT A COMPUTER AND EVEN WITH A COMPUTER IT IS A LOT OF TROUBLE. BUT IT IS THE BEST AND MOST ACCURATE SYSTEM AVAILABLE.

What are the linguistic challenges or ramifications of sign >writing? SOMETIMES IT IS JUST TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO PUT DOWN ON PAPER. LIKE WHAT EVERY PART OF A PERSON'S BODY IS DOING. ALSO COMBINING DIFFERENT SIGNS. BUT I REALLY ENJOY WORKING ON TRYING TO PUT MY THOUGHT INTO SIGNWRITING. IT IS A LOT OF FUN. > >4. Any additional comments.... >GO BLUE!!! PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE FROM MICHIGAN I TALKED TO YOU. HA HA. ANYWAY SIGN WRITING IS A LOT OF FUN AND THAT IS WHY I LIKE IT THE MOST. IT IS FUN. > >Thanks very much! >Leslie > Pastor Ronald H.
