[QUOTE="kuifje75, post: 314702"] My being born in Philadelphia metro area, I have noticed the differences between NJ and Utah... 1. truck NJ: bent 3 RH going right on forehead UT: both hands T (SEE), or fingerspelled 2. chocolate NJ/UT: almost like church, but RH C-shape going in a circle motion 3. computer NJ/UT: RH C-shape going down left arm Canada: like "basketball" in ASL but in lower area 4. chicken NJ/UT: bird 5. plastic NJ: "P" on chin, like metal (perhaps SEE), also "flexible" UT: fingerspelled 6. rubber (as a rubber ball) NJ/UT: sign like "shave" or fingerspell 7. ministry NJ: "M" serve 8. Navy NJ/UT: like clipping something on pants both sides 9. white person/Caucasian NJ/UT: same as Reba Any other differences that you have noticed? TEMPLE Normal sign is "T" on left fist, but Mormon temple is signed differently, almost like "when" SLOPPY NJ: dirty UT: farm SNOW NJ: signing "rain" gently UT: "white" "rain" Canada: RH middle finger touching chest Cant think of more at the moment but I have seen a lot of variations between UT and NJ.
