That is very interesting that some of the Deaf seniors had used to old sign language which is still part of ASL. Some of the signs have changed but not a lot. We also add new sign to the new word like e-mail. Every state have their own sign language before ASL across the coasts to coasts between United States and Canada. I have said that in another thread about that. Did you notice that he had used the Signed Exact English instead of ASL but he still like to sign ASL too.

wow I remember a lot of old signs that i didnt realize that those old signs that i sometimes use it. hehe When I went to gallaudet and their modern ASL that i had been picking up, and then went back home and notice different in my local ASL home. Then I moved to up state ny, I go to the deaf club here and there are a few older deaf people. They still sign like in that vlog.
