This Wednesday, while wearing my ASL Seasons Shirt (with artwork from My ASL Dictionary) I went shopping at Dollarama . After I made my purchase, the Administrator at the Till gave me my change and, in ASL, signed Thank You. I was so shocked, I rushed back into the store to verify that that’s what she did.
“Of course,” she told me, “I saw your shirt.”
I was so happy. As soon as I got back home at 3:08 p.m., I made a short video on Instagram and YouTube about that experience.

My ASL Dictionary is filled with original characters for each ASL hand sign, with a few special exceptions. I created another cartoon of a Cheron (Star Trek Aliens with discrimination based on which side of their body was black or white) who, instead of opposing difference, ironically illustrates the ASL hand sign for BOTH and PAIR.
The V hand lowers through the opposite C hand as the fingers come together into a U hand and the opposite hand closes, a visual for two being one.
