I’ve been lurking for a while and now I am ready to post my first message.
I have a (silly) question about "ILY". Why is “ILY” being used so common in deaf community? I met a deaf lady in Arlington, Virginia and after getting know her a little better, she signed “ILY” when we were saying goodbye to each other. Mind you, I’m deaf, too, but I do not say "ILY" to anyone except my families or my boyfriend. I noticed that some of AD members use ILY, too. So, care to elaborate?
