MCE
stands for “Manually Coded English.” It is a signing system that attempts to
represent English on the Hands. Most culturally Deaf people do not
encourage the use of MCE, but its existence continues in large part
due to the decisions of Hearing teachers, parents, and
administrators in schools where Deaf students attend. While MCE has
its good points, skilled ASL users generally consider MCE to be very boring,
time consuming, and laborious (takes a lot of
extra work).
