#2: Initial revision
I was starting to leave a comment on [this excellent question](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/4811/how-does-one-include-sign-language-in-a-dialogue) when I realized I had come up with a second question which was equally intriguing.
If you're writing a story where 95% of the communication is signed, and you decide that you're simply going to use quotes to indicate signed speech, with attributives ("Where are you going?" he signed. "To Venice!" she responded, exaggerating the gestures in her excitement.), what happens when the signers come across someone who speaks aloud?
How is spoken speech formatted as a secondary or cameo-use language to signed speech?
