    Finger spell it my wife says

    My wife is an ASL interpreter and says the best way is to finger spell it each time because it is faster to finger spell than to sign Scottish Skirt.

    Good luck on your final!

    I will ask my Scottish friend who is deaf and signs but he uses English sign language and for Scottish it is twice pumping with the crooked left arm to simulate bagpipes! He will be interested in how it is done with ASL
    Again two countries separated by a common language!

    You're right, Barb, this is awesome! Thank you everyone! I'll take all the info I can get.

    This helps for more than just his exam too. Our daughter is autistic and stopped speaking about 12 years ago. She communicates now with PECS and rudimentary sign, which we are all learning (slowly for me... tricks for old dogs and all... hahaha) so I'll take every bit of teaching I can find. Besides, once we started learning it, it was amazing to find out how many folks are out there who rely on ASL that we can somewhat talk to. It's pretty cool!

    I agree with Chubrock's wife. Finger spelling KILT is perhaps faster than signing Scottish skirt.
    I would also suggest contacting the folks @ http://www.gallaudet.edu/. as these folks are the higher education centre for the Deaf Community in the USA. If anyone should know definitively, these people would know.
