Not a bit.  I actually have a habit of signing "Understand" every once in awhile, myself, just to make sure I'm signing everything right.  Especially if I don't know the sign for something and I'm trying to describe it, in that case everything is "You know, thing?  This color? Understand?  You know?"  I just mean like, for example, I was student interpreting for the GLDBA and a lady came over and saw that my name tag clearly said "Student Interpreter" and automatically stopped and changed from ASL to PSE or something and signed (VERY slowly)  "Can... you... please... ask... them..." then her husband, who I'd met earlier all but pushed her out of the way and said what they wanted.  It was really nice of her to do that for me, but it won't help my sign. And, I am good enough that you don't have to go that slow.  I've noticed (and this might just be me) it seems women are more likely to do that.  Maybe women are just more likely to try and be nice?  LOL
