It’s a language, whether you like it or not
Posted on November 18th, 2006
I hate it when people think we are automatically stupid because we cannot speak. Foreign language speakers, though they cannot speak English, are treated with more respect, simply because they 1) produce sounds that construe a language 2) have the ability to learn to speak English.
American Sign Language isn’t a language to them because it is not spoken, no matter how hard we try to convince them. It’s built in their ignorant human conscious. So fuck them all, they’re damaged goods. Start when they’re young, fresh and ripe!
