There are those who might consider the initialize sign JELLY to be Signed English. I disagree. I feel the sign is simply an initialized sign similar to "BLUE" or "GREEN." Just because a sign has an initial in it doesn't mean it is Signed English.
However, it is not worth arguing about. If your local teacher has heartburn over initials (that happen to show up in signs very commonly used by Deaf people in real life) then just use the "spread on" sign.
