Well – that is the very reason that I asked for this different spelling ;-) 

All best

Betreff: Re: Sao Paulo (variant)

I see what you mean. When I first read that I think of that as the left
hand. Though when I go ahead and sign it with my right I see how it makes
sense...

For Erica. Here is a variation on Sao Paulo. It doesn't feel right to me,
but logically this is how one would write the P hand middle finger on the
right hand touching the right temple. Other rotations of the P hand give one
some positions that don't look right if one is working with two handed signs
as the two hands don't touch when they should or the fingers don't touch the
face where they need to.

Here is my variation, which follows the Parkhurst convention, for Perfect.
Sometimes you just have to write what feels right.

Hello... here are my cities:

Rome: where I was born
Perugia: where was my university

Modena: where I live when I'm not working
Paris: where I've done my PhD

Poitiers: where I work at university

I have a few here:

Red Deer (where I currently live):

Which is in the province of Alberta:

Edmonton, the capital of my province and the city where I was born:

Leduc, where I really grew up; the city is near an international airport, so
the sign looks like an airplane taking off:

Calgary, the other major city in my province, technically has two possible
signs. This is the old one, which isn’t used any more – and there’s a story
behind that! 

This sign refers to spurs on cowboy boots, because Calgary’s biggest claim
to fame is the internationally-renowned rodeo called the Calgary Stampede.
However, Edmonton and Calgary have a MAJOR rivalry – if you’re from one
city, you’re expected to hate everything about the other!  In the spirit of
that rivalry, the Edmontonian Deaf began joking that the sign was really
related to the sign for “garbage” and the Calgary was “garbage”. The
Calgarian Deaf, offended, decided to change the sign.

This is what they changed it to:

Personally, I’m sorry they changed it! The original sign had more character,
in my opinion. But I don’t subscribe to the rivalry between the cities . . .
much. (smile) Anyway, hope that’s not too many signs all at once!

Dear SW List:

Recently a Deaf guest from Ireland, Shane Gilchrist, visited us here in La
Jolla, and suddenly there were Deaf friends visiting in my home, from all
over San Diego!

It was a lot of fun for me in particular, because I have been a bit isolated
here - 

I learned a few signs that were new to me. One of them is the name of the
city where I live, La Jolla, California.

The sign for La Jolla is similar to the sign for California, except the hand
stays in one place while shaking
 I just wrote it in the ASL SignPuddle
Dictionary:

<http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=4&sid=1995>
&sgn=4&sid=1995

What is the sign for YOUR city?

Val ;-)
