When talking in sign language is one supposed to sign the silent letters ?
e.g. Crumb doesn't really need the b, so should it be signed ?

I'm not too sure about this, but I think names are just spelled the way they are spelled, and every word has one signal, so it doesn't matter of there are silent letters are not

There are also different sign languages... An american one and a european one...
I didn't really mean as in name, it was more of a general thing. I chose crumb (as in biscuit) because it was one of the more obvious ones.Originally posted by Skweeky@22 November 2003 - 00:08

Queue would be another example. Q would suffice, so do you need to sign ueue ?
Same question for either.Originally posted by Gurahl@22 November 2003 - 00:11

Yes. You spell the words as they are written.
As Skweeky said, most words have their own signal (for example, the word 'know' is signified in British Sign Language by the right thumb pressed to the temple with the fist clenched).

I thought all the letters were silent. That is why you are deaf.

The person is almost certainly deaf because of some sort of physiological problem, rather than a grammatical rule boab.Originally posted by bigboab@22 November 2003 - 00:17

However I can see how your confusion would arise.

What do you use a Grammatical rule for? Measuring poetry?
