I have a few questions about fingerspelling, first is the letter O. Is the letter O done with the knuckles facing forward, or is the the letter O turned sideways? I'm trying not to make this confusing when I describe this. Next is the letter G. I have seen G as the index and thumb turned sideways,other websites say index finger and thumb are facing forward. I tried to read about it on Wikipedia, but got more confused because of this- "For example, the letters G and H are frequently shown from the side to illustrate the position of the fingers. However, they are signed with the hand in an ergonomically neutral position, palm facing to the side and fingers pointing forward." So I don't know which is the correct way. My daughter is named Colleen, I would be so embarrassed if I finger spelled it C0lleen. Here is the link I was reading about fingerspelling,if anyone is interested-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_manual_alphabet
Thanks for anyone that can clear this up for me.
