Subject:  One more question to add to my previous questions


I was also wondering ... Is there a particular reason why we write
out the fingerspelling for spoken language words instead of putting
those words in standard print? It just seemed to me that if we are
simply fingerspelling an English word (for example), why don't we
just type the word in English letters? Just wondering ...

I can understand for some ASL signs like #JOB or #EARLY. It's
others I'm wondering about.
