Hi Bill, my team and I love your website, but a couple of folks including a deaf colleague say that the real looking handsign with the 'B' on it is wrong, it should be stated as the black and white printer copy.
I thought maybe it was dialect?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Gwen

Gwen,
Hello. :)
See: 'the handshapes page' and scroll down a bit to the 'B' section. There you will see 3 examples and a bit of discussion.
What you will find when you video various people fingerspelling at high speed is that many of the handshapes that we see in fingerspelling charts are not at all like the handshapes that are taking place at high speed.
For example, the fingers jut out on M and N. The E mutates into various configurations. The thumb on the letter 'B' ends up only partially bent across the palm.
That is why when you see a book or teacher showing you the individual letters they look one way, and then when you see people 'actually fingerspelling' many letters look a bit different.
Your colleague is quite right that the black and white printer copy is 'right.' I reckon it took an artist 15 to 20 minutes to draw that handshape with the thumb handsomely draped across the palm. That just doesn't work for high speed spelling.
So, I had to make a decision when I developed the 'photo-realistic' chart. Do I want to go for 'traditional pretty' or 'real world application?'
The fact that both versions are posted are an indication that I think both versions are right.
Note: I don't expect most people (even other ASL instructors) to agree with me about the letter 'B.' That's okay, if they will take my challenge (to do the videotaping of high speed fingerspelling) and capture individual frames they will see for themselves.
Cordially,
Bill
