MESSAGE TO THE SIGNWRITING EMAIL LIST
SUBJECT: SignWriting Is NOT A Language
From: Charles Butler <chazzer3@erols.com>
Organization: Ecumenicon
To: DAC@SignWriting.org
Thank you for being clear, crisp and concise. "the alphabet is not the language" needs to be sent to every Deaf school in the world so that they understand what SignWriting is doing its best to do. When I see deaf folk saying 1-2-5, meaning "Me-see-Finish", then what else are they doing but exactly what SignWriting does in a much better way.
