Sign slang.
There is sign slang in most parts of the US. With my brother moving to New York from San Diego this month, he says he knows he is gonna have to get used to NY sign. There are also what we call "family signs". Many families make their own signs for certain things. Often it stems from not knowing the real sign so they make up one instead of looking it up. Our family had a lot of them.

I figured that was what it was. Might not be sloppy but different ways of doing it.

A lot of this really was just sloppy sign. Just like your writing can be sloppy, so can your sign. Many people only half complete signs or they do them incorrectly. Not because they don't know how to do them correctly. Usually it is just because they are signing so quickly or their signs have evolved to simpler versions and the people they know understand them so they don't correct themselves even when speaking with people they don't know.

Ok. Don't have Fru smite me. :lol:

I don't have enough experience with it all. I've only learned a few signs and not enough to actually talk with someone else.
 




rassa frassa cassa massa! :mad:

Hafta RMA a BRAND NEW laptop! network card has a bizarre hardware related prob that has kept me and the tech on the phone puzzled for too long. Probably there is just a single part of the card that is malfunctioning or else it wasn't completely soldered onto the motherboard.

Phooey. :(

Well, at least they are taking care of it. :\
