Question: Suppose I
wanted to say, "I have a new Yahoo domain name." Or "I have a
new domain name. I got it from yahoo.com." How would I sign
that?
Response:
There is no widely established sign for "Yahoo" (as in the company)
in American Sign Language.
I recommend you spell "Yahoo domain" and then sign "name."
See: NAME
The word "domain" as in
"a domain name" could be expressed by signing "website
address."
Thus you could sign, "I
have a new web address. I use Yahoo."
Or you could sign, "I have a new web server. I use Yahoo." Although
that might be misleading since technically you may be getting your
domain name from one place and have your hosting done by some other
place.
If you are specifically referring to a domain name server then just
spell "DNS.
If you mean "Yahoo" as in "Yay!" then see the "APPLAUSE"
page.
