[Blindtlk] Signing Your Name.

[Bernadetta Pracon]

Hi Mary,
First of all, blind or not, a person should know how to sign their own 
name. No excuses. lol. I have been totally blind all my life and I had 
to learn to sign my name when I was seven. I use a signiture guide 
because I, too, write at an angle; That's what they make them for. 
There's no shame in having to use a signiture guide. There is, rather, 
something a little embarrassing perhaps, about not being able to sign 
ones name. Most of us, totally blind included, know how to.  Maybe you 
could relay that to him in that way. Perhaps in a slightly more 
sensative manner though, I suppose.
That being said, signing with the letter X is a legally binding 
signiture. Maybe he could do that instead. Although, I don't know if 
that necessarily applies to the IRs.

In any case, you are totally right, and I wish you luck in trying to 
convince him that that is true.

Best wishes,

Bernadetta
