That's an interesting idea. > And Ron Detloff perhaps has written some hymns in ASL?...I don't know... It would be interesting too to compare Ron's ASL version of the KJV Bible with a BSL version. Except I don't favour the KJV; go more for contemporary translations---even with the hearing. :-) Regards, Trevor British Sign Language is not inarticulate handwaving; it's a living language.
