I am Deaf and fluent in ASL. I need to point out to you that your signs are inaccurate. Out of respect for the language and the Deaf community, please leave the education of the language to the experts.

Melissa, please share with us where you got your expertise in ASL... And while you're at it, would you refer at least one SANE Deaf person who is fluent in ASL to vouch for your fluency? How do you go from teaching about budgeting to teaching a language that you don't know??
