Signed English (SE) has its' place as does ASL. Most deaf people that I know use a mixture of ASL and SE. Welcome is here to stay as an English sign and ASL users are WELCOMED to use it :)

I agree. SE has its place but FYI SE is not a language we cannot compare it to ASL. That's why my ASL Vlog I encourage ASL users to remove some of the obvious SE signs.

Thank you for your comments.

That is fabulous... you are right on the nose, or should I say, right on the eye! Smiles.

One another thing I want to vlog discuss is how you say your name... spell out ---- ----- not using first name or last name. For example, David last name Martin versus David Martin... maybe you can do it for me? cheers!

Rockmangames said a true thing. Pressure to sign perfect? Same as pressure to speak perfect. So who gives the pressure? Hearing, deaf, both?

It was reported on a Deaf dating site named Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.

ASL is a real language, beautiful and teach things conceptually accurate and deep as well. It's not only good for social chat with deafies as you say, for much much more. Real ASL has taught me, a "hearie" a lot of awesome things, that are deeper by default in ASL. I enjoy using ASL, sorry you don't think it's good but for only chatting.. kind of sad..

This was awesome! Thanks for explaining (and clarifying in this second video). I've always signed "welcome" (no W) in reply to "thank you" and nobody ever corrected me. I suppose- when folks are being polite- saying "thank you" AND "your welcome"... folks would tend not to stop and explain that I just used "welcome" in the wrong context. It really bothers me when people use poor grammar in spoken English- I can see how it would get annoying in ASL too.

I know a few things and I'm trying to teach myself sign language and u cracked me up just cuz i caoght a few parts and it was great :)

I only caught a few things in that but I love watching people sign. I took ASL for 2 yrs in high school but forgot most of it. I ran across this video while looking for basic signs to teach my kids they are both hearing but dont speak yet so I though signing would be fun for them

[deafgagirl]

you know what I never thought of that. i had a hearing teacher who said the exact same way like you said.. we are used to it. but some here said that it is okay to use "W" or Welcome.... But I totally understand what you are saying though. I , too, sign .. ok, no plm.. I used to sign welcome until some of my deaf friends sign differently than say welcome. I was surprised by that.

Thanks for sharing this. *hugs*

Wow. I was looking up how to say "your welcome" in ASL, and found this. Apparently, "your welcome" is something that is not appropriate? My understanding, anyway. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am not deaf, nor do I use ASL (I just the basics, like the alphabet). But could somebody do something for me? Translate this? So that I can learn too...
