AW: [sw-l] spelling question 30 - squeeze" motion

[Valerie Sutton]

Hi Stefan!

I agree!!

No dots are the best for single squeezes. The dots were not designed  
for single squeezes...only for doubles and triples.

So writing the beginning and ending handshapes with no dots is  
definitely the easiest and the best choice.
