Which version of sign language do you use? Despite having a bad hearing loss and no usable hearing, I use sign supported English because it makes more sense to me when all around me speak English. The broken and choppy sentence structure of ASL is almost impossible for me.

As the name suggests, sign supported English relates to the English language. British Sign Language does not. In a sign language - British or otherwise, the structure of the language is unique to that language. It bears no resemblance to the main spoken language in the country in which it is used. Sign supported English however, takes the signs from British sign language and uses them in the order that the words would be spoken in English. This means that a working knowledge of the signs for different words is needed in order to understand and use sign supported English, but the more complex grammar is not. This method of signing is also sometimes referred to as conceptually accurate signed language.
