You're right LMM, we do actually learn quite a bit about how ASL works and how to 'translate' second language English for called parties who don't understand. Operators who have second or third language skills tend to have more understanding because we know what its like to try and negotiate worlds in a second language. Its tough! Thanks for the feedback LLM and granddaughter, I really appreciate it. I do feel very lucky for the chance to learn from deaf folks who experience the world differently than I do...
