Nancy SignWriting List August 23, 2000 Ok Nancy! Attached is the old document re-written in our modern SignWriting. Here are some points: 1. I personally do not teach ASL (I sign to Americans, but I am not an ASL teacher ;-) 2. No one should try to learn ASL from this document, since I have no idea if it is good ASL or not. 2. This version is based on a document dated 1981. That is 19 years old! 3. There is a chance that the signer would not agree with his own signing by now... 4. There is a chance that I mis-interpreted the old SignWriting, which was beautifully written for that time, but now we write so differently that I could have made a mistake... So do not take this writing as God...it is only one possible version, and we should write many more versions. This version is written horizontally. I will place it in vertical columns later. Please write your own version, Nancy, and post it to the List. If you don't know how to do this, that is OK! Just start asking questions and we will help you, until it becomes easy for you ;-)) English: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". | |||||
