Those of you who are interested in SW and Stokoe notation system comparisons
might be interested in this.
I am teaching an undergraduate class on the linguistic structure of ASL.
I gave my students a homework assignment in which they had to match drawings
of signs from an ASL dictionary with their forms written using SignWriting
and Stokoe notation. I made the assignment more difficult by including
several signs that differed only in handshape, movement, or orientation.
After they completed the assignment I asked them which system they liked
better and they said, "SignWriting".
