Just a note there on the sign "lucky." I think how the Deaf know when you are signing lucky with the same sign as "chili" is the facial expression involved. I've seen my sister-in-law (who is also Deaf) from the east sign that sign (chili) mean good luck but with a facial expression tongue click ummm how to explain oh like saying lalala. My husband and I use it also, and when we sign chili we sign is repeatedly. It was a big arguement in my classroom with the SEE teacher, but I think you are right when you said we could write the sign on the board and explain how people from different areas sign it. Good idea, I plan to do that this next year:) Smile Nancy |
