But my husband cannot spell at all. It's weird to me, because I try to spell a word to him when he can't hear and it's no use. I have to try to air write. And that's even worse!Tracy N.

She taught us all the alphabet and we did use it during church, mostly. Like asking can I go to the bathroom when mom's on one end of the row and your four siblings are between you and her. ;)<br /><br />It's great for across a room, too. <br /><br />I've always wanted to learn sign language and have made several starts, but I don't live near anyone who uses it (that I know of, and it's a small town.) So I've learned a few things but never got very good at it since there was no one to talk to or practice with.Leah Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668989627100455974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-89966466640594764702011-07-26T22:50:08.327-06:002011-07-26T22:50:08.327-06:00I told you I'm terrible at spatial estimation....I told you I'm terrible at spatial estimation.R.C.
