That is not the sign used on aslpro.com. Now I am really confused.

Just checked the sign for grass on aslpro.com. I have never seen that sign used in the Deaf community here in MD before. That's the first time I have seen it. Must be a regional thing. :dunno:

Thank you loml. The problem is that I hate learning signs from a book. It's very difficult with some of the signs to figure out what the little drawings are trying to tell you. I love aslpro.com It makes ASL eaisly accessable. I wish there was a similar SEE site. I don't know. Maybe call it seepro.com. It makes me want to discuss another topic but perhaps I will start a thread about it.

Just out of curiousity, why are you learning both ASL and SEE?

According to SEE II in Arkansas, it is a palm (5 fingers facing upward) on the chin, going up and down...kinda hard to explain.

That's a regional sign. :)

In our SC region, that's the sign for TRUCK. :)

In some other regions it's the sign for HAY.

I'm a certified CDI...and I've been trained in SEE as well. That IS the sign for butterfly in true SEE form.

You are correct. In SEE, any compound word, such as butterfly, is signed using the two compound signs for the English word, not the conceptually correct signs.

"My nose is running." Would also be signed so that it appears that the nose has just jumped off the face and is running across the floor.

SEE does not take into consideration differences between visual and auditory processing, and that is why the use is so often confusing for deaf kids.

That may be what you choose to use deafbajagal, it is NOT what is taught here. The word butterfly may be a compound word, but it does not fit the rule for "root" word. Next you are going to tell me that that the sign for understand is: the ASL sign for under and the ASL sign for stand. :roll:

You are aware that there are several forms if signed English, are you not? SEE1, SEE2, CASE, and PSE. They all differ in some ways. But DB is correct if you are adhering to Signing Exact English. Very few do, however, and most of what people call SEE is actually more PSE, as it does not follow the rules of SEE nor ASL, but is a conglomeration of both dependent entirely on the signer.

Because it is not a perfect world. My rethorical question back to you would be why are there so many different signing methods? That is a topic for another thread.

From what I can remember about the sign - it is like you sign for foot but with "g" instead of "f".

What sign do you use for FOOT (the body part)?

Or do you mean FOOT (measurement)?
