User blog:Interstate2011/Concerning Roxy's Language

Because not only does Roxy speak English, but so does every series-wide character featured, including her associate, Frankie, and because of her culture being American, personally, on one side of me, I figured she should have been created for American Sign Language... on the other side of me is a problem: Roxy has only four fingers on each hand, including a thumb, so at this rate, nobody could have told when she was signing an M from an N, or a V from a W.

WHY?! Because, concerning signing both M and N, those involve a fist with a thumb between two outermost fingers. For an M, it would be that the thumb is between the pinky and the ring, As for an N, it would be that the thumb is between the ring and the middle. T, on the other hand, no problem; there, the thumb is between the middle and pointer/index. Because Roxy has four fingers on each hand, including a thumb, there is no middle finger, so if she tried signing an M or an N, nobody would understand. Of course, they could redesign her for that, but having her stay four-fingered otherwise? Nah!

Then there's V and W. For V, the pinky and ring fingers are closed, with the middle and index fingers both pointed up to make it look like a V, and the thumb on top of the ring tip. With W, it's like that, except the ring finger is up, and the thumb is on top of the pinky tip. No can do with four-fingered hands.

Then it would count as a goof if Roxy had five fingers on each hand when signing, but four fingers when not.

Maybe Roxy could have been an interpreter for someone who signs.
