This thread is fascinating to me, especially as a hearing person who wants to practice ASL. I came out of ASL class last night with a friend of mine and we were signing to each other to practice both expressive and receptive skills. I've gotten used to signing with my Deaf roommates and I sometimes forget and sign to my hearing friends who don't know ASL just out of habit. I try to practice as much as possible and people probably think I'm crazy when they see me walking down the street signing to my iPod. It's good to have the reassurance that I wouldn't be offending anyone.

[QUOTE="pagedancer, post: 1409623, member: 33945"] This thread is fascinating to me, especially as a hearing person who wants to practice ASL.
