Learning too Hi, I'm also learning. :) Nice to meet you. :wave:

Just confused... maybe? I think we have a misunderstanding here. I am going to explain better. My reason to want to know is to learn. I am not trying to say the English dictionary is superior. I was merely using it as a comparison. It shows the term as OFFENSIVE in the entry heading after...

Let me rephrase the question OK, I meant to ask WHY offensive words (to know what NOT to say!) are not in ASL dictionary, or are they now? I took the ASL courses in college a long time ago, and my old copy of the ASL dictionary did not have those. Sorry if I poorly worded my question. :)

great Hey, good luck! :) ASL is a beautiful language spoken by truly fasincating, amazing people! :) :wave:

baby asl My sister took an ASL class and taught my nephew ASL and he's 4 or 5, hearing kid. I don't know if he still uses it. They live in San Fransisco, CA. My other sister says she wants to do that to make sure her baby can tell her if something is hurting, or he/she is hungry, and my...

:) My mom kept saying for years my dad had "selective" hearing. :giggle: I think I read your post-that you got sick and lost your hearing? I really hate it when my ears start ringing! It drives me nuts. It comes and goes, and sometimes sharp pain and then it's gone. If I keep...

ok I'll try that next time if it does it again. It was just weird... :giggle:

yep I've been learning some interesting things so far! :) :wave:

ok Thanks! :) :ty:

hmmm Personally, I have never made fun of anyone's speech. It disgusts me thinking about anyone doing something so stupid like that to someone else. Why people don't have more tolerance for one another, I don't know. The first oral deaf person I ever met was my adopted grandma's...

oh ok Then I did it the right way... whew! :) I was a little confused there... I kept scratching my head thinking, How did you get work wrong?? Thanks for clearing that up! :giggle:

Really? The old one I had didn't... do they update it every year? My old copy was from over 10 years ago. Better to know how NOT to embarrass yourself! :) Thanks for the news. I took ASL 1 and 2 in the 1990's. So I'm behind in some information, I think... :roll:

huh... Wookie? I thought you were talking about Star Wars... is that some kind of a joke in ASL? Chewbacca is a Wookie. I'm hearing, so if you just said pecker I'd have known what you meant. :)

:) The English Merriam Webster's Dictionary 10th Edition has English swear words defined--just curious why not in ASL dictionary? Why aren't private parts mentioned? I'm hearing and I never thought about that until I started refreshing my memory by looking up signs on ASL PRO.com's...

:) Thanks, I will try that. It got a little strange when I thought I DID log in and then it told me I wasn't signed in. I thought I must have screwed something up in my settings somewhere. :):giggle:

:) Thanks! :)

Why do I keep getting the message I'm not logged in after I did it? And why do I get the message I can't edit my post? Thanks.

re your story What a jerk! I'd have tossed his butt out the nearest window if he'd been my boyfriend! ;) Seriously, if I had been in your shoes, we'd have had a lot of chatting on manners. My family used to (some) complain if I had the captions on, but I couldn't hear the TV good...

need to read it again I browsed part of it at Barnes and Noble, and what I read was funny! :) Glad to help with the links! :) JM

good Then there's others who know how I feel when I missed something! :) :Oops: Again, please! :) JM
