I’ve realised that this app sometimes shows their letters wrong when they are signing in videos

Am I the only one who realises this? Please comment to tell me if you see it too

it's important to recognize an individual's 'style' and variations on not only handshapes with fingerspelling but also how they sign more complex words think of it more as an accent/idiolect rather than being 'incorrect'

the 'N' handshape typically seen printed on books/posters/pamphlets/etc. has the index and middle finger clasped on the thumb with fluent fingerspelling however it's more simply formed just 'resting' (straight, [ie] not curved) on the thumb

I actually missed one due to not understanding her way of turning the "o" palm outward, I'd. never seen that before so I was confused but went with e, which is what I thought she was signing, but it was wrong and so I looked closer a few times and then realized that's what she was doing. I saw another letter she signed differently but I can't recall which it is right now

communication

I am wondering when… *The person you are talking about is not present* Say your in a conversation and your talking about “him” or “her”, do you specify in the conversation, “girl” before you point on the side of you or “boy” to be specific in who you are talking about? Thx

sign order

I am not sure about sign order. One of the questions in a section exam is to pick the sign order for the phrase “My car is black.” I have tried every combination of selecting the signs for my, car, black … rearranging the signs like “car black my” or “my car black” or “car my black” … and none of them are correct. What is the correct order? My main critique of this app is that it does not adequately teach sentence structure. It mentions it like once and gives no continued instruction to understand how to handle new adjectives.
