Incorrect ASL Alphabet

28 09 2004

Meredith from http://journal.amanita.net/ discovered a website that promote alphabetic in fingerspell which is part of American Sign Language. (ASL) Unfortunately, it doesn’t look right at ALL. I mean – you will have to see it for yourself. I doubt it is from another country at all. Sheesh!!

Wrong Alphabetic Fingerspelling

Take a look at http://blackdog4kids.com/holiday/summer/daily/6-04.html

Bottom line, it doesn’t matter whether she made it up or she’s up to something – it need to remove and/or replace with correct one. Meredith already provided them where to find right one. I emailed her today to have it fix ASAP before it went too far. I haven’t heard from her yet. If you are concern about it too, please consider & email to them!

oh my god! That is not the right sign language in ABC’s. It’s totally different, and I was looking at the G’s H’s, and etc, and I was like, “what the heck is that coming from?”.
Let’s hope the person who did can get change asap.

I just recently saw this set of ABC signs. I believe it’s ISL (Italian Sign Language).

I believe that the letter, ‘F’ should continue because nowadays, the letter ‘F’ and number ‘9′ are too much alike.

However, very interesting.

Hey, I noticed that the T is changed a little. I’m sure many of us know that “t” in American Sign Language is considered offensive in some parts of Europe and Asia. Definitely foreign, that. Not ASL.
