Jenny, You're literate in both SEE/ASL. What's your background? I grew up speaking (when I got my power blaster hearing aids) but now am moving into the deaf world, so am learning ASL. It makes sense for me now.
Right - true ASL is Store me go. versus SEE - I am go ing to the store vs a combination of both - I go store . Prior to my ASL class, I'd sign - I go to store or I go store. In the early days when I was just learning sign at IBM, I would've signed I am going to the store. (ugh... that phase of signing everything didn't last long.)
We're in agreement here. You say that SEE is way too convoluted to be able to sign every single word and sound (like the ing). I also agree with that and don't.
