Bingo.

I picked PSE, since that's what I use, even with my hearing husband. You see, I grew up with SEE and then drifted off into PSE, which I see as a cross between ASL and SEE. For example, while I generally put signs in the same order as English, I don't use unnecessary words like "a", "the', "to" or tense endings. I guess you could say I sign using the grammar of The Incredible Hulk. ;-)
Same here.I used all. I grew up with SEE - it helped me lot with my writing... then Now I use ASL / PSE
Dammit, I thought it was the sixteen century
What about PSE?
Couple questions if you care to answer: Would it be better if there was only one global sign language ? Is there benefits of having different sign languages for different countries? How much the sign language of a particular country is linked to hearing language of the same country?
At the end what I am trying to figure out is, if there are good technical reasons for having more than one sign languages or if its a political issue like different countries wanted to have their own.
Thank you
