A hash mark # in front of a sign means to use lexicalized fingerspelling. That means mutated spelling that now looks like a sign instead of individual letters.

This is called “lexicalization. ” For example: #BANK

1. YOUR MONEY, YOU KEEP WHERE?

How do you sign: STUDENT COLLEGE

2. COLLEGE STUDENT ALWAYS BROKE(financially), WHY?

How do you sign: CAN / ABLE BUSINESS

Manage Administer Reign Control

3. CAN YOU MANAGE YOUR -SELF (your-own) BUSINESS?

How do you sign: TOMORROW DAILY VS

4. TOMORROW, YOU #BUSY? Note: if you see a # symbol in a sign language text, it indicates lexicalization of spelling.

5. WHAT COST CENT-25? When signing “cent amounts, ” do the “cents” part of the sign first. COST / fine / fee / tax / surchage

How do you sign: EARN DOLLARs Use twist for 1 thru 9: $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 Use “DOLLAR” sign for: $10 $11 $12 …

For the concept “more than” You can sign MORE You can sign THAN or you can use the combined sign “MORE-THAN”

6. YOU EARN MORE THAN 10 DOLLAR HOUR? [“more than” can be shown with two signs or just “one combined sign”]

Note: We sometimes fingerspell the concept of “early” using a lexicalized version. 1. EARLY (normal) 2. #EARLY Lexicalized

7. YOU LIKE GO CLASS EARLY?

How do you sign: GOVERNMENT PAY “Well” (GOOD)

8. YOU THINK GOVERNMENT PAY GOOD?

A “classifier” is a type of sign that shows a general category of shape or function.

For example, a CL: C can show a cup. A CL: F can show a quarter or button. A modified CL: C (index and thumb) can show a large COIN such as an old “silver dollar” coin.

Often when signing ASL we will ask if the person is familiar with a topic…then we will go on with our sentence. We do this by raising our eyebrows and signing things like: KNOW, REMEMBER, HEARD, SEE BEFORE…

10. KNOW+ SILVER DOLLAR CL: C-(index and thumb)? [response = yes], YOU HAVE? (Are you familiar with “silver dollars? Do you have one? ) (review…)
