I track signs by placing my hand/hands over the person signing to me. Very simple. When I mentioned the whole "images" aspect, I meant that ASL tries to convey the message as "the whole picture" instead of english-conforming order. It makes more sense to me if someone signs in normal english order, using every word they'd use to write down something. Does that help?

What I've found offensive was when people within the Deaf community would ignore me or say something and then 'locate the nearest exit'. I can understand that alot of people fear blindness, but that's little validation to ignore someone. I think that if you're actually -considering- what could offend a deafblind person, you're highly unlikely to ever do it.
