[quote=Reba;906747]Just one more point (which others have also made).

ASL is its own language--it's not a "broken" or substandard version of any other language.

Just because an English speaker can't understand a French speaker, that doesn't mean the French person is speaking a "broken" language. The French person is using fluent French.


If someone signs SEE do we call it "broken ASL?"[/QUOTE]


Good point.
