Immensely Valuable Beta Feedback Received:
"the single-quote/ double-quote to denote signing vs. speech continues to annoy me, because I read both British and American novels and don't see a difference (U.S. uses double quotes for dialogue, U.K. uses single) until I get confused and backtrack."
Definitely a problem to fix; I want it immediately obvious to the reader when a character changes from verbal to gestural speech. The best repair seems to be replacing ' ' with another form of punctuation. Fix this on second draft.
Current Punctuation:
"Speaking"
'Signing' The problem is obvious;
< Strobing >
/ ! / Plosion in the higher register
/ + / Plosion in the lower register
