I have never heard of Manually Coded English before now. I was looking at one of the websites that someone posted and read about Manually Coded English and how it is similar to ASL in that it uses a lot of the same signs, but different because it follows the grammar and syntax of spoken English. I have attached a link to a website explaining in more detail about this language, and also a youtube video of girls using Manually Coded English. For those of you who know ASL, when watching the video I noticed, as the description of Manually Coded English states, the signs used follow the words to a tee, unlike ASL. Where ASL has it's own rules, which are different than English rules, the signing is a bit different. I thought this information was very interesting! It's worth reading about and watching the video (skip to the middle if you don't want to watch the entire thing. It will give you a glimpse of what I'm talking about).

I watched that video and found it very interesting. I have taken ASL and it is similar yet different. It has some similar signs as ASL but it follows the English structure unlike ASL. I want to learn more about. I want to watch more videos because I didnt want to stop watching this one.
