Val and all,

I came across a website just now and thought it would be great to have a 
Signwriting equivalent in the English Dictionary.   English uses a lot 
of idioms and even though this page gives ASL video equivalents, I don't 
know if Deaf use them.

I do know that as a late-deafened person, I struggle to minimize English 
idioms when signing as it tends to confuse the communication.
