Yes...I believe you are right, Stefan - Certainly I can read it...it
is little like interpreters...sometimes some Deaf people cannot
understand some interpreters, if they are signing in English word
order...there may be some who can understand though - so I am sure
there will always be people who can read the signs in English word
order...but true ASL still needs to establish writing rules and in
time that will happen - but not overnight! Val ;-)
