her k is wrong

[yugiohkiller999]

i am a real deaf person... with a c.i.

first of all, not be mean...

remember you A has to be up not side ways... you H needs to be up to not to the sides... you have to show the fingering positions upwards where the person will see... not side ways...

Everyone, you have to remember that while there's the standard ASL, there's also different 'accents' if you will. Kind of like a New Yorker sounds different from a Texan, someone who learned sigh language in New York will sign a little differently then someone in Texas. So while, yes, I think she's wrong, it's because of where I'm learning, versus where she did.

@justineeelovee Not really. There seem to be two versions of "K". This is one of them. A "P" is a little different though. When doing the "P" it is basically the same as the "K" in this video, BUT when doing a "P" you would turn/swivel you hand down, so that the index finger is not pointing upwards (as in this "K"), but sidewards or a little down (and the middle finger is pointing down.

So, the hand gestures are the same, just the orientation is different.

@alyssa9007 Nope. There just seem to be two ways of people showing the K. If you look around you will find a lot of resources making the K this way.
