Which to someone that's deaf is the same thing.

I don't want you to change your name, I'm just going to call you Penelope from now on.

- The sign is the word. By using a different sign, it's a different word. - spamlet Aug 28, 10:32
- no. ASL is a language and making him do a different sign is changing the word. -- nm - zork Aug 28, 10:31
- Yeah, I'd think that's wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 28, 10:30 2
  - I'm not saying it's right; I'm just saying it's a better analogy. -- nm - mara Aug 28, 10:32 1
    - you're wrong, here. -- nm - zork Aug 28, 10:33
- Still not ok. -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 10:30
- It's 'as-wee-pay'. -- nm - Nic Cage Aug 28, 10:30
