Mirroring - in ASL or PSE
I just had a "Oh!" or "Ah!" thought/moment.
As I am right dominant ambidextrous I am wondering if it is easier for me to use Manual and sign left handed because I am mirroring the signer...
(I also learn magic tricks better left handed)
Some of the letter shapes are 'crushed' in my right hand. So I have always used left for manual- I also 98% of the time sign left except 'please' 'Thank-you' 'good' 'bad' 'sorry' as I was forced to use my right hand for these (stupid teacher...)
Any thoughts on this? If I look at you and you have something on your face, I will automatically 'switch' so you must mirror me to get your face clean. (This confueses my husband, no one else... just him- he claimed it is because he is Italian, but his mother (more Italian, ESL instead of bilingual) understood just fine)
I also can 'write/graph' in air my right to left so it looks correct to you - things I do as a tutor.
Any merit to this?
