Depending on who I'm talking to ... I either spell CODA, or sign "FATHER MOTHER DEAF"
I know you collect books ... if you haven't read "Train Go Sorry" I'd recommend it - and "Journey into the DEAF WORLD" both good books.
I know you're collecting dictionaries and such ... but honestly I think at this point you would benefit far more from Deaf Culture/Awareness books than more dictionaries. I say that because I know you've taken classes in the past, and are signed up for more in the future, as well as already having a variety of Dictionaries and online resources.
I think it's really a shame that we don't encourage "starting students" (anyone who hasn't taken a Deaf Studies course) to do more reading on Deaf Culture and community early on ... because it's that foundation on which everything else is built - it actually makes learning ASL much more "logical"
JMHO - sorry for the mini tangent !!
