Kris Divamom, thank you for confirming my suspicions that some of these signs are wrong. The article is a good reminder of what I once studied, but like soooo many articles on this site, is not completely accurate. Please, people, do your research before you post! The site is losing credibility in my opinion.
Divamom Other than the errors it is a cute article.
Divamom I am from a deaf home and some of these signs are not correct.
