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! ;-)
