Hello Claudia, Kelly Jo, Ingvild, Charles, Stefan, Adam and everyone -

All these signs are wonderful - thank you!

I hope if you write more, that you can write them directly in this SignPuddle file online:

International Sign Dictionary Online
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=1&sgn=35

I am not sure where you wrote your signs, Claudia and Kelly Jo - Perhaps with the PersonalPuddle? And that is fine…but if they are in a public puddle please tell us, so we can transfer them to the International Dictionary Online faster -

No matter what, keep sending names of cities and states and countries - These signs should all be internationally used, and it is a great database to have -

Val ;-)

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.
