Taylor,

I think as Moderator you can make this (& your other reference threads) a "sticky" or "announcement" that will make it sort to the top. I think we'd all like that - I was a bit overwhelmed in looking at how many new words had been added (which is great!) since the last time I looked. Soon this valuable reference threads will fall to the bottom.

You are a wealth of information, thanks!! :D

PS Feel free to delete this reply post.

One of the common themes you will see in the replies from posters who are Deaf, formal interpreters, or other 'experts' is always cross-check your dictionary sources, when you can! It always helps, especially when there are words in English that have multiple meanings (e.g. the classic 'run'). So, if you traditionally use ASLPro, check MSU also, for example.

Just thought I'd add this reminder to the thread. Happy signing!!

Thought I'd add this to the sticky too...

This place has the whole New Testament on DVD, it is amazing and pretty cheap: http://www.deafmissions.com/

Also a really good resource book is
Religious Signing : A Comprehensive Guide For All Faiths by Elaine Costello

The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary, by Richard A. Tennant, Marianne Gluszak Brown, Valerie Nelson-Metlay (Illustrator) is an ASL-to-English dictionary.

Per aligreat, very useful. She says, "The dictionary is wonderful. If you want to go English to ASL you have to use the index to find the page number. The index also tells you the handshape, and often that's enough to jog my memory about how to sign it. I also love that if I see the sign done, I can look it up later."

I was looking because after spending a whole day with our Deaf friend and her son, we had so many new signs floating around that there were some where we now knew a sign, but hadn't the slightest idea what it meant!!

I am also part of another yahoo group that is designed to help out families that are learning ASL to teach to their kids. It is run by a bunch of people in the Deaf community and many interperaters. They are always cautioning people to not use ASLPro! They have told us that there are many wrong signs on it and some that are even vulger! I have taken it totally off my list of dictionaries that I use when looking things up.

Just a word of caution. If anyone else knows more about it please let me know. I could probably find the posting on my other group if people wanted more info about specifics that are bad about this site.
