Just spell "VIT"
Got a story for you:
When talking about vitamins I fingerspell "V-I-T." One day my daughter
Kelsey (around age 3 at the time) pointed to the medicine cabinet and did an interesting handshape/movement that
looked like:
As it turned out, she was combining all three letters "V-I-T" into one
handshape with a fluttering pinkie. The fact that her handshape was an acronym for an English word
didn't matter a bit to her. What was important to her was that it
represented the sweet tasting vitamins in the medicine cabinet. English was
not a middleman. The connection in her mind was direct.
