SignWriting List August 15, 2001 Can you try to type it in SignWriter, Stuart? Why not start with each individual sign written in SignWriting side by side first. Then place numbers under each one. Then send us all a GIF of these signs in a horizontal row. With the English description, refer to the numbers and state that you want sign 2 to be inside sign 3, or whatever.... That way we can figure it out better...because I don't even know some of the ASL signs you are referring to...so it hard for me to follow the description and guess what you want....
