I am trying to figure out if something is a sign or someone's name sign.. It is like energy (which is an arc on the upper arm with an E hand)-- but instead of an E hand it is the letter M on the upper arm. Does this sign mean anything?

I have seen two ways to say 'not'/make something negative, ex. can into cannot. The first is pulling you thumb under your chin or the second having one index finger out and striking it down with the other. What is the difference between these two signs? When do you use one versus the other?

I have heard that ear molds can start to smell. What do you do to reduce/prevent this? Also, what do you do for itching?

I am interested in how people would phrase certain English sayings in ASL. Here is one: How would you sign "what comes around, goes around"? If anybody has other ones, please post them! I can't remember any right now, but whenever they come up I wonder how to phrase/say them.

Does any one have any sources or info about representations of d/Deaf in the media? I think that is what I am going to write my paper on but it's hard. (Ex. How there are have been a handful of shows recently-Law and Order: CI, CSI, etc- that had deaf characters/actors, but they were all about...

I have to write a paper about some aspect of Deaf Culture, history, ASL, etc. Any suggestions? I considered doing the CI debate-- or ASL vs. Oralism... but I feel like those are so overdone. I wanted to do the portrayal of d/Deaf in the media (like all the crime shows in the past year...

So, I got sick of waiting (and waiting and waiting) to hear back from my school's Disabilities Office, about allowing me to borrow an FM system. As much as I hate to be annoying, I finally just emailed every person who I could find that was remotely connected to the Office (the Part-time office...

..so, I have been meaning to ask this for a while. I want to send this video to hearing friends, and I was wondering if any one had a captioned version of the video. Personally, I think it is better with out (hard to interpret, because his sign is so 'cinematic' and classifiers are awesome)...

I was just wondering who (if any one) went to the Clarke School?

I think I am going to be purchasing an FM system (I have yet to hear back from my school about whether they are going to do this or I have to, I think I am going to though)-- does any one have one they are thinking of selling/not using any more? (keeping in mind I am a student, and thus very...

So, I have recently moved to an area that gets much much much more precipitation (in every form) than I am used to (and the rain, snow, etc often starts unexpectedly). I am a little concerned about my HAs getting messed up (I know, I am so paranoid-- because I simply can not afford to replace...

I spent the last few years with a guy (who was the best person ever-- but changed)... a few weeks into dating told me 'hearing aids are ugly' ... that was just mean. Guess it was good I didn't wear them around him, 'cause it meant I was never really listening.

Ok, so I wear BTEs, but I am having some problems in my lectures (a lot of my professors have accents, or can't quite seem to get the knack of facing forward when they lecture, not walking behind me, etc) I was considering getting a FM system (I may also be studying abroad, where I will...

If your hearing aids get bumped or tapped (such as putting your hair behind your ears and you finger taps them slightly, or putting your head against someone's shoulder, etc) do they reset? Mine turn off for 1-4 seconds and then turn on again at setting number 1-- it is hard to tell if it is...

I am HoH and I desperately want to spend the summer at Gallaudet learning ASL (I have done some classes before, and I have found ASL more natural to me, but I feel like the only way to really learn it is to be truly immersed)-- but the programs are soooo expensive. So you know of any...
