change the name Canadian English Sign Language on your web pages, to be Signed

you for the compliments and mentioning on the list about the poem.
It has been a long time since I did Sign Writing a poem. It made me sit with
my dictionary again, which was a very good exercise.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>

still working on your family poem off and on. But I will eventually get it.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I have a question about your term CESL...for

is CESL a separate and unique Sign Language? I never heard that term

reason I said Canadian English. Over the years I have noticed that ESL from

<BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>I have
been working together with a deaf person who was at Bellville . You may
remember me talking about him. He use to correct me often by saying
that a certain word in ASL was different from his language and at times
became upset about it. Ofcourse I was taking lessons from him so I had to
follow his language.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>I am
also working with a group of school teachers. Since deaf children are now
schooled in the elementary schools, the teachers want to learn
to sign in English for the purpose of the children to learn
to read. They don't want ASL because of the grammar.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>I had
them read the poem and they loved it.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>I did
not know what else to call it, so therefore Canadian English. If I am
wrong I am open for corrections. Please do so.<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE>
