I looked in a CCA women's manual and it shows:
index,middle,ring
For the men's CCA manual it shows:
little,ring, middle
Anyone know the NFS finges?

When I was first reffing, my littlest was learning sign language because they thought he'd never be able to speak, although he wasn't hearing impaired (long story!!). My older kids used the usual index-middle-ring when they wanted to indicate three of something, I was using pinky-ring-middle as my reffing peers did, and Mason was doing the ASL middle-index-thumb. As he grew, he developed a sense of humor and would choose which one he was going to use each day. He thought it was funny to confuse people, especially ASL people.
PS He speaks okay now, although it took years of speech therapy to develop that. Sometimes, I wish he'd just shut up!
