Description: (VERSION 2) This video covers all of the references (signs and fingerspelling) for the 50 states currently known by the author (me). I picked up these signs from a number of varying sources (including residents scattered across the US). If you see a sign as incorrect, or if you are aware of additional signs not used in this video, please let me know and I'll add it in the future! Yes, I'm already aware of the error on the screen for Indiana (it says "1 sign or fingerspell IND" when it should only say "fingerspell IND"). But, I didn't want to redo the whole video just to fix that. *smile* After all, this is only a second draft. |

| BYUFanatic ::: Favorites 2007-12-03 09:55:17 Hi jesussigner! Thanks for the input. I've included both the "regional" (preferred) sign and the more well-known "national" sign for Oregon. Hopefully over time the second one will phase out, but for now I'll keep it in the video because it is the most commonly used. As for OHIO being signed the same as OREGON. Can you verify how popular that sign is? My sources tell me that it is most often simply fingerspelled - O-H-I-O. __________________________________________________ | |
| jesussigner ::: Favorites 2007-12-03 03:28:06 Many native Oregonians prefer the first sign. Also, I have a friend from Ohio, and she signs OHIO the same way most Oregonians sign OREGON (the first way!). : ) __________________________________________________ | |

| BYUFanatic ::: Favorites 2007-11-26 09:47:57 Yep. Didn't help that in this version I'm wearing a dark shirt. *grin* But, as I've said on the email list, these are only "drafts." The "final" version will be much nicer. __________________________________________________ | |
| hinabina ::: Favorites 2007-11-26 00:55:46 i see what you mean about the white balance between you and/or the screen -- it is tricky! __________________________________________________ | |
| BYUFanatic ::: Favorites 2007-11-24 12:43:39 Thanks for the replies! One criteria I have is that signs must be regionally or nationally recognized. There are a LOT of small and local variations and it's impossible to include them all. I think I'll use what I had in my first video for Kansas - KAN and KS. I started with PENN, but was told that PA is correct. So unless some more Deaf from Pennsylvania tells me what they prefer I'll stay with PA. I've checked with some Deaf Hawaiians and the only sign they use is BEAUTIFUL with an "H". __________________________________________________ | |
| gnarlydork ::: Favorites 2007-11-23 23:24:06 and for South Dakota, i sign "SOUTH" then add a "D"... because I am from San Diego and too many people got confused so I am trying to make it obvious that I am referring to South Dakota by using the "south" sign-- I am beginning a movement with the new sign for South Dakota! __________________________________________________ | |
| gnarlydork ::: Favorites 2007-11-23 23:23:41 Hawaii-- It is pretty hard to describe, but the sign I used for Hawaii refers to the flower in your hair--the handshape is bent five, and the movement is that you rotate your wrist as you move it toward to the sie of your head near your ear as if you are putting a flower in your hair. Pennsylvania-- I actually spell "PENN"-- PA feels too odd for me. __________________________________________________ | |
| gnarlydork ::: Favorites 2007-11-23 23:23:16 Alabama-- I do an "A-L" while tapping on the nose. Kansas-- I fingerspell "KS"-- i think this is generational variation-- the older generation (30-yr-old above) uses KAN or KANS but the younger generation (like me) just fingerspell KS (got some friends in Olathe). __________________________________________________ | |
