@JoannaTeach I can't tell you why it is—I doubt most others could either, even perhaps the lady in this video—but in certain instances it is proper and preferred to fingerspell "try" rather than sign it. "I'll try" and "try" (as an imperative) are two concepts that are usually fingerspelled. There may be other times when fingerspelling "try" is preferred, but I can't think of any right now. The best way is to notice when native Deaf signers spell it and when they don't, and internalize it.

Thanks for the idioms! Just wondering, why did you fingerspell "try"?
