@AmandaMoMorris Excellent article

@sociolinguista I often have to suppress the intense impulse to click "ctrl + S" when I'm reading a book... The struggle is real

@MarahJaraisy Having recently edited a Levantine Arabic/English glossary, I find this tweet utterly delightful!

@linasigns As a Northern CA (Sonoma County) native, I completely agree. Although, up north, we'd only refer to PCH as "Highway 1" or "1".

@jen_gineered @puddingviz I enjoyed your article very much. I noticed in one illustration there is the form "lena," but your methodology describes search variations that only included the form "lenna." Do you plan to expand your data set to include other spelling variations?

@ryanlepic @AdamCSchembri (Also, which dictionary?)

[Carla D. Morris, PhD @CarlaDMorris]

@ryanlepic @AdamCSchembri Very cool! I know some people chalk it up to an influence of SEE on ASL, but the more I'm researching sign etymologies, the more initializations I see originating from old LSF.

@FriendlyAshley @copyeditors @FreshLookEdit Thanks, Ashley! So much info, so little time.

@AlliTurner11 @copyeditors So here's a screenshot from an article of mine with in-line glosses in small caps.

[Carla D. Morris, PhD @CarlaDMorris]

@AlliTurner11 @copyeditors No really, as most writing regarding ASL in the past did not include photos or line drawing. As is still the case for many academic journals.

@megan_stolz I failed on the hashtags today. Thank you for the retweet!

@copyeditors However, the distinction between Deaf and Hard-of-hearing is dependent on the individual themselves.

[Carla D. Morris, PhD @CarlaDMorris]

@copyeditors That being said there is some terminology used predominately in the US. There is a distinction between the use of Deaf and deaf. The former describes individuals who consider themselves a part of Deaf culture and use ASL and the latter describes an audiological status.
