It also makes the two handshapes look like one unit, which is how it feels when I sign it - 1-C is one word, and the last two numbers are separate words. Just my opinion . . . but I knew a Deaf child who actually signed 1-C-0-1 for 101! It's like the C is a suffix on the hundreds digit. >> >> I could write some other numbers the way I feel I'd sign them and save them into SignPuddle online, if you'd like. >> >> Anyone else on the list have an opinion about this? >> >> KJ >> >
