1. Some people say "why do they not use English".. How
different is a sign language from a spoken language?
Why write ASL? Why not English?
Why grammar, thought, brain. ASL learning process is not the same.
Writing sends language to people who are not present. Preserves history, transmits to the future.
Now writing many languages. 40 and continuing.
If students learn SignWriting and can use the translate feature and have a good teacher to help, this is possible.
