The reason for my post is the thread about parents "allowing" their child to learn sign. Like its a taboo.

Go ahead and learn it for the fun of it. Find a deaf friend who knows ASL to teach you. I check your profile and didn't see where you are from.
Latin is very much a dead language. The only people spoke it would be those in the Vatican City. However, the English language had borrowed some words from Latin.
