All my hearing friends have the problem of wanting word=sign, word=sign, word=sign. So much harder than ASL I think.
We have a white board in our living room with "OR SOMETHING" written on top. I try to explain you don't just word=sign, word=sign, word=sign. My roommate asks "What is sign for 
". (I don't know and can't remember example because the expression is so different always) I try to explain and often give up and say "I would do the sign and expression in this manner or do other sign in this manner or....." And then write "Or something" on white board with frustration and give up. And opposite also - I can't think of the word with speech or writing and say/write: "_____.....or something." End of sentence. :P Probably a bad habit. Now we just point at "OR SOMETHING" when anyone (hearing also) can't explain or think of the word. 
I can't do SEE really. I will understand most SEE I hope and had family and interpretors do PSE (not true SEE I think - no "the" "I" "he" etc - in past post I wrote "SEE" but now I think more PSE. The topic makes me 
), but I don't. SEE is exhausting to my brain. I don't know how interpretors do SEE always.

From Deafness and Literacy: A Two-Sided Debate
ASL is preferred by a majority of deaf people for several reasons. Signed Exact English and Pidgin Sign English are more complicated and difficult to understand than ASL, which emphasizes the important parts of the sentence and ignores the extraneous words such as the and am. SEE cannot be mastered without prior working knowledge of English grammar, which deaf children lack (Moore & Levitan 100). PSE relies upon the common understanding of hand and body gestures. For example, the gesture of holding one's stomach to indicate a stomachache might appear to another person as an indication of "having a full stomach." In addition, ASL is visually easier because it stresses the main objects in the sentence, which are generally brief and very concise. Facial expressions allow the user to express emotions more clearly, and essential to the grammar of the language. For example, the speed at which signs are shown can emphasize the thought being presented. Therefore, a deaf person can better express his or her emotions and thoughts more directly and clearly with ASL.
