Sutton...
Shorthand is not the same as Handwriting...Handwriting is
more formal in comparison...Shorthand is more personal...When
writing Shorthand, I assume knowledge of the signs...for
example in the middle sign...I didn't need to write both
hands since the Grasp Symbol informed me of two hands and
I assumed they were the same handshape unless otherwise
stated...In Shorhand the rootshape (the square for the fist,
or the circle for the open fist) is not important because
you are assuming knowledge of the language, but when you
re-write your notes in SignWriting Printing then you use
the proper official symbols....Val ;-) |
