It is something that is signed, but it is not English. <smile> It isn't even really a language, but the sad thing is that is what most deaf kids are exposed to because the teachers and interpreters use it instead of ASL, which is a language. But..thats a whole different soap box. Personally... I would rather have the teachers use SW and Signed English rather than Written English and Signed English, because it would at least give the kids a chance at developing literacy in sign. :) | ||||||||
