Hi!! I'm new to signing, and the site. From Canada. Your signs are different... I don't know how to explain really which ones, how you say what age you are, and the number sign looks different too. All a little confusing for someone new. Do you know a sign for the word "website" ? I try to search it and get websites for asl, but not the sign for the word, lol.

@PenrosePirateHey! Welcome to the site! Yeah if you're signing in Canada, you'll likely see different variations of what we use here in America, although that stands true even for different states and counties within the U.S.  If you're ever wondering which version of a sign to use, ask around your local Deaf community, and use what they do.  Anyway, about how I signed my age, I actually agree it does look weird!  It seems odd for a couple reasons, first because I didn't sign "I AM" or "ME" before my age, and that's because I had already signed it once at the beginning of my list of things about me, so it was unnecessary to sign it again.  Secondly because I used a version of the sign for "AGE-19" that my local community uses but I've not seen just about anywhere else.  Here's a good video that explains signing your age pretty well:

 

For the number itself, I used the first variation shown in this video:

And as far as the sign for website, I use the W-W-W version, essentially a W handshape  that you bounce twice while moving slightly to the right.  The second sign I do in the vid below is "ONLINE" or "INTERNET", just cause it seemed relevant :)

Sorry for the spam, hope this helps!

Hi Daron, 

You mentioned that these chat rooms aren't the greatest.   These are the only chat rooms I've been in.  What do the other chat rooms have to offer?   I just got skype and chatted with my daughter once.  I signed just as poorly in skype as I do in these chat rooms.

      How can a student ensure their writing aligns directly with the latest CIPD Profession Map outcomes?

      By AlexEden · Posted

      Students can ensure their writing aligns directly with the CIPD Profession Map by mapping assignments to the core professional behaviours (e.g., Ethical Practice, Professional Courage, Curious) and specialist knowledge standards relevant to their unit level. Demonstrate how practical application of the Profession Map’s core behaviours (like Valuing People, Working Inclusively, or Evidence-Based Practice) solves real-world workplace issues. Ensure to strengthen arguments with credible data by referencing official CIPD articles, toolkits, and current UK employment guidelines (such as Acas resources). And if you are struggling to apply Harvard referencing, then get help from professional CIPD assignment experts because you need to format the assignment using the four standard pillars: knowledge, analysis, professional practice, and referencing.

      Fingerspelling Game

      By Connor Gill · Posted

      That sounds like a fun way to practice and improve signing skills. Games usually make learning feel much more relaxed, and they help people remember things better. It also reminds me how simple word games, like foot puns, can make learning activities more enjoyable because everyone likes sharing a good laugh while picking up something new.

      How to handle client changes in residential estimates?

      By Connor Gill · Posted

      Clear communication is probably the most important part when a client requests changes. Even small adjustments can affect materials, labor, and the overall schedule if they aren't reviewed properly. Updating the estimate before moving forward helps everyone stay on the same page. I've also seen arizona construction estimating services help contractors keep revised costs organized, making it easier to explain the impact of changes to clients.

      One thing that's made a big difference for me is discussing the cost impact of any changes with the client before the work moves forward. It helps avoid surprises and keeps everyone on the same page. Even small design changes can affect labor and material costs more than people expect. If you're managing projects in that region, arizona construction estimating services can also help keep revised estimates accurate when those changes come up.
