I believe that ASL is a true language, and that SEE is only a tool to use when teaching English in the school. Outside school, SEE really should have no use. Who cares about proper word ending when you already set the time and space in ASL conversations. Once you say "yesterday," there is no need to add "-ed" and so forth. I have been studying Vietnamese language and it follows this pattern. The verb never changes, because the time or adverb sets the time and space of the sentence. Some people think that ASL is a primitive language, but I don't agree. It would be like calling Vietnamese a primitive language as well, just because it doesn't follow the same grammar rules of a control language, such as English.
