Hi James,

Oh, good. I am glad you explained to me just what you meant. What you say is 
interesting. I had no idea that there were so many dialects. It could be 
confusin' to somebody who was new to signing.

I guess from your explanation that what I have learned is signed English. Or, 
at least I use it that way. My syntax is English when I sign. So, I guess 
that's what I am doing. But I would like to learn the correct way to do it. I 
don't think I will until I have the occasion to speak to someone who is deaf 
and who will give me the time to learn. That's ok, I will futz along with the 
stuff I know. I can at least make myself understood.

Well, gotta run. Take care, see you on-line.

Ann P.
