A Response to Ann Hutchinson Guest’s “Any” Symbols on March 27, 2003 and Lucy Venable’s April 30, 2003 Postings in the “Any Sign” Thread
In Ann’s posting she says that the basic symbols for air work should be changed to accommodate children’s questions. I feel this is not a strong enough reason to change the system.
Re: Lucy’s examples 2a-2d. “Appropriate” would mean that the symbol would be read differently in different cultures. It is better to have the plain line (my Ex. a below) mean “any movement.” There is no symbol for “appropriate,” so it should be glossarized until one is found.
Therefore, my Ex. b below indicates “any movement ending in any support,” making examples 2a-2d in Lucy’s posting superfluous.
