    Wish? Hungry?

    I've always seen desire how Alex stated. However I've seen people use hunger when they want sex etc. It gives more emphasis. you not only want it. You hunger for it. I think most people can tell the difference lol

    Is there a sign?

    its not an ASL "problem". english has the largest vocabulary of any language on earth, mostly because we steal many words from other languages. if ASL lacked a vocabulary, you would be limited in the way you could express things. If you are having a problem expressing something in ASL, its...

    Dream sign

    ive done that, when you get so engrossed in something, such as signing, it carries over into your dreams. In high school i was into martial arts, and im still fascinated with german language and culture, and want to learn it. one week for some reason i was thinking about them both alot, and had...

    We are NOT disabled.

    im not attacking you personally, or speaking of you in a negative way here....but you are certainly "less capable" than a sighted-hearing person. thats not to say you can't function. Im "less capable" than a professional basketball player, or an astronaut, or someone with a teaching degree...

    I broke a rule

    i have actually done that, as a joke only. i know its mean but oh well haha. i work at a deaf school, and we had a new guy come to work, didn't know any sign. he needed a sign name, his initials being J.C. this got my evil mind working so i told him his sign name would be "J" over his left...

    I broke a rule

    its not like the deaf police are going to show up and bust you. the "rules" aren't rules so much as "taboo". that was more of a "burn" than a sign name, if i read it right. the guy isn't going to go around and proudly display his new sign name, its more a name for you and your buddy to use...

    I hate fingerspelling

    i believe the sign for probation, is the same as "warning". tapping back of your opposite hand. there really isn't any tricks, that i know of anyway, for helping in this situation, other than working on your spelling. If i were in your situation, i would either a)suffer till i got better, or...

    I hate fingerspelling

    my advice, would be to stop fingerspelling so much. your english vocabulary means very little in ASL. Same with your english vocab means little if you were speaking german. sign what the word means, not the word itself. Also, if your unsure of how to spell a word, spell it phonetically...

    am i really supposed to??

    perhaps my tone was wrong, and i apologize. i didn't mean it to sound like i was saying "oh sorry you didnt hear that, too bad", i dont just leave my friends hanging when they didn't understand something or whatever. Point is to force the other people to communicate with your deaf friend...
