Thank you for the reply and also for the message,

Ahh lipreading from tapes you'd be surprise I find that REALLY difficult hence why I am dependent on subtitles on tv, I can't say what it is about watching a face on tv, it throws Me completely but yes that is indeed a nice creative use, and the little things as I say resting a hand on the shoulder/knee etc I'm quite famous for that.

Thank you for the suggestions I have to admit some interesting creative ideas spring to mind :)

Don't worry about having something to add, if anything I think alot of things on here hearing people could learn from as well as Myself :) Thank you for the well wishes I do have My fingers crossed, but no rush I'd be hardly considered a good Dom if I got overly excited over a few days and let My rational side get blown to kingdom come.

"Unless your have Mastery over yourself, how can you expect to Master others" Thats a little motto I like to say.

Glad you like the de-skunked skunk, well if none are in the land of Oz I'm sure he wouldn't minf you patting the screen *chuckles*

Hiya again.

Just thought to anyone who was curious about signing to check out britishsignlanguage.com they have an section that allows you to find words etc.. you will need to click on the re-direction link as the new page is under construction, just thought people might be curious *grins*

I would however be curious to hear (boom boom tish) if anyone could share some signs that they are happy to share? I did some research recently, speaking to some open minded deafies, and there isn't really much if anything that is BDSM sign related, so in a way might be a cool thing to add to the dictionary of sign *grins*

I have always wondered and never got a clear answer, I know some ASL but I am about as horrid at it as my French and German butcheries.But I can make sign for all fucked up like a pro!!!!

Is there a great deal of difference in signing across the globe? Since much of it is conceptual, man woman with and and so on, other than finger spelling, is it universal enough that one can readily speak (even basely) with those from lets say, Turkey?

Curiously,
Ron

Hiya mnottertail

Well with ASL (I have no idea why this happens) it depends on the state you live in, some uses two hands and other states use one hand (very confusing), there is a universal sign language which I am curious about, but to be honest I only do BSL but I'm stronger in SSE (Sign Supported English) alot of signs are universal as they invovle simple signs, I mean I bet you do them all the time, if your with your friends and it's noisey and you want to know if they want a drink, you mime drinking with an imginary glass/bottle etc.. that is sign. People who don't know sign try to "over" sign, keep them simple and easly understood. If you were really curious try ASL for the state your in, if you have problems, do ask I know a fair few places and I don't mind helping out.

Sometimes looking at sign in it's purest form can be daunting so start easy, combine it with clear speech, but don't taaallllkkkk llliiikkkeeeeee tthhiiissssss, thats very annoying for a lipreader. The context in sign is simliar to french or german, but there to My knowelge is not like "Female chair" as in french. BSL for example cuts out alot of useless words like "the", that word simply does not exist in sign. Another example being "Whats your name"? you use tone and subtle change in tone to indicate a question, in sign (I'm using British here) it goes "My name. What"? Then you fingerspell your name then your signname if you have one.

People often make the mistake that a signer can read/understand written english, this isn't the case they are not strictly speaking "english" but a context of it, hence the problems with education as alot of educational things are written in spoken hearing english, the way around it is to try and learn it, I still have problems with My writings at time what makes sense to Me is bad grammer or english to another, and more then often I speak in sign which is confusing to others.

Hope that helps? I don't mind helping I'm a proud deaf bloke and equally proud of the Deaf communitys language.

WoS

P.S on a side note Signlanguage is only about 500 odd years old, compared to the thousands of years of evoling (or unevoling :P) spoken english.
