<DIV>Query, I'm not sure how people feel, but even though it is American Sign Language, shouldn't the "who uses sign" indicate USA, not America, as opposed to Canada, Mexico, etc.  America applies to two continents, not one country.  In other countries we are "United States", "Estados Unidos" or "the States" but not "America" unless it is "Bush's America".  </DIV>
