Signing Savvy, Your Sign Language Resource

Hi Bryant,

Good question! 
Undortunately this sign was not marked correctly. GO is not an example of an informal sign. Let's see if I can give you a better example/explain this better: When native ASL users are talking conversationally they often don't produce signs the way someone just learning the language is taught those signs. For example: STUDENT is formally produced with the DH coming all the way up to your forehead. Informally however it rarely goes above your chest. As an interpreter I am more likely to produce signs more exactly because I want to be clear and understood. Conversationally though I'll use all the shortcuts. Smiling.

I hope that helps. Thanks for asking!
