Answer 3

I have often wondered myself.  Like what does ttt mean?  I don't know.  Some I learn from my kids, like LOL.  I think, somebody puts it out there and it just 'catches on'!  Kids seem to know a whole lot more than I, when it comes to the computer!  That's a given!  LOL!

Answer 4

Did you even bother to search (Yahoo, Google, etc.) for "Sign Language Dictionary"?  There are many of them.  This one is ASL, you'll probably find some ESL ones too:

You understand that there are 4 different sign languages in the U.S.A., right?  ASL and ESL are are the most popular and the majority of their signs are the same (the major difference is in sentance structure - ASL more closely models French, as it is derived from a French Sign Lanuage).  ESL, or Exact Signed English, as the name implies, exactly matches written/spoken English.  The other 2 are relatively minor.  Classically ASL was more widely used, but ESL tends to be taught now-a-days, with the hope that it will better enable the deaf to read/write.  I think Gaudet University still teaches classes in ASL (but that might have changed).

The best one on the net is here. The signs are not drawn, they are video's of a person making the sign.

Answer 11

Don't know about full dictionaries but you should be able to find some signs.

Try going to the sight for your country's deaf association/society. They may have a way of looking up signs on it. If not they will probably have a link.

One point. If you want one of us to give you a link you will have to specify what country you are in as pretty much every country has a different sign language.

Answer 12

probably ... though you seldom hear about it :-)

Answer 13

I took ASL in college, and the main thing was that you are to paint a picture with your hands.  Don't think of the words you are trying to convey, think of the pictures you are trying to convey.

Answer 14

My favorite has already been mentioned: ASLpro.com, but I have to put my two cents in because of another previous post.

ASL(American Sign Language) is the ONLY signing system recognized as a true language with its own grammar and everything. The others (English Sign Language, Signing Exact Engligh, Signing Essential English, Pidgin Signed English, Conceptually Accurate Signed English...) are just signing systems. ASL is used by the Deaf community although most schools that teach the Deaf use either PSE or CASE because it uses ASL signs in English word order so it is supposed to be easier to transition to written English.
