always alone one.

We have our homonyms that allow a good deal of fun and mischief and amusement through words that sound alike, sound exactly alike, and sign has it's separate words that look alike. These are what make receiving difficult and a bit tricky. It becomes apparent when the words are needed next to each other and a distinction is needed. How that is resolved amounts to your personal style.

The sign for "always" is the same as the sign for "alone."

These two files are from signing savvy. At first I thought maybe he used the same file for both words but he did not. Both words appear on the same page of A words.

Maybe that's just him. Maybe that's his style. Let's check. This is ASL Pro. 

always

alone

All the online dictionaries are the same thing. One, Spread the Signs, comes closest to myself. This suggests to me, it's a guess, she is most likely not deaf. 

My "always" "eternity" "forever"  is a tighter and faster little twirl, but the same thing as these, and my "alone" is less broad, more alone, less wandering around, my "alone" sign is more a circular singular flick of loneliness. I make these two signs distinct even when they're not together, but when they are together then they spin together with  a crisp distinction between them, This loop shown here but tighter and faster fading to a hard flick terminating with "1" sticking up and set forward, for one singular movement with three segments showing upright index finger twirling "always only one." It goes by so fast it looks like one movement.
