Well, being polite......No,..
Bilingualism is using two languages;
Signwriting is writing.
Bilingualism involves knowing and using language;
Signwriting involves writing down language.
Bilingualism has to do with any languages;
Signwriting has to do with only signed languages.
Bilingualism is something you hear about;
Signwriting isn't.
But you will! ;-)
