Two-out-of-three Rule
A rule associated with SEE 2 in which two words are signed the same if the words share 2 out of 3 of: sound, meaning, and spelling.
Signed English
Type of Sign Supported Speech in which, instead of the two-out-of-three rule, “sign markers” are added to ASL signs to more accurately represent English, with additional invented signs.

Use of signs based on the meaning of the idea being conveyed, produced in English word order and accompanied by inaudible mouthing of English words. Believed by some to be an anglicization of ASL and by others a form of Sign Supported Speech. May be referred to (in the context of signed language) as transliteration.
