I teach ASL to my students and, honestly, it helps me sign better by being a teacher. It forces me to keep myself in check and teach them properly.

That person who signed "butter" and then "fly" is strange to me. I have never seen anyone sign like that. Interesting.
I tend to lapse into PSE if I am sim-coming, too. Just am not capable of thinking in 2 languages at once. However, I can do 2 modes of English at once.
