I am confused to as which one I should click on...mixture or PSE? I clicked on PSE since it's "contact sign" and I have never heard of mixture until this thread.

This poll was a great idea and I am curious on the outcome, but seems that some of us got a bit confused.

Don't like to interupt, but what about a poll with the topic:"Poll for fluent users: What do you favor?"(was that proper english grammar?). And trade "mixture" with "Two or more modes are equal to me". While I understand why this is limited to deaf people, I think hearies should be allowed to vote, if they are fluent in one of those modes. I know several of them prefers PSE or ASL over SEE, though it's perhaps more deaf people that prefer ASL than hearies. I also wonder if this poll is for american deaf people or foreign, too? Again, great idea!
 
When talking to deaf people I use the few signs I know along with fingerspelling when I don't know a word.

People usually use the deafblind manual to communicate back to me although I have used hands on signing in the past. I don't know which type of signs that's based on though.

Asl of course. Oh, and Pse is not a language.

Jeebus. ASL is only language on the list while others are known as Manual Code of English (MCE) which means MCE is not language but rather as "code" for spoken language.
 
I voted mixture, to me mixture means all of above... as I have used all three.

Pse is not manual code its just completely made up -- its our version of pig latin.
 
Who use ASL, PSE or SEE?

I want to find out who use ASL, PSE or SEE here on AD.

Some of them told me that my sign is ASL sometimes PSE.

I use SEE when I was in elementary school. I know some people don't like SEE sign.

Which do you prefer to use with someone? ASL, PSE or SEE even fingerspelling or It doesn't matter for friendship.

I prefer Asl, always have.
 
Cool, Jasin & JClarke, That's what I want to know. :ty:

Then who else?
 
Prefer ASL, but will use whatever mode the person I am communicating with prefers. Many adults who learned SEE as kids sign more of a PSL syntax.
 
 
Any of the three. When I sign ASL it is more half way between PSE and ASL at times though. SEE was my first language, used it before I spoke, so it is sometimes hard to switch over to ASL.
