I was watching a singing video where there was a sign language interpreter and even though I don’t know sign language I saw her use some hand movements for certain words that were repeated so I knew what to look for, but it felt that in some long sentences she would cut down the words before getting to that keyword. So I wondered if in sign language they do an abbreviated version like we do in text. LOL, Nmd. I’m not talking about spelling out words, I mean hand and arm movements.
