Index Number: 8894 [This is from the Silent Talk Conference] > To answer your question about SEE, it stands for Signed Exact > English. I understand that this form of signing is being pushed in > several education systems in several states. As one whose first > language is English, SEE is easier for me to use than ASL. Just from my limited experience with ASL, and only what you've told me about SEE to go on, it seems like SEE would be a step backwards for the HI people. Sort of like making someone learn to speak English words using Japanese grammar and syntax. But I can see how it would be helpful with things like reading comprehension, too, so I guess there are plusses and minusses. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!376!12.6!Shay.Walters Internet: Shay.Walters@p6.f12.n376.z1.fidonet.org
