I have a question. When something new is invented,who decides what the sign for it will be and how do people that use ASL find out what the sign is?
For example,when the Internet was invented or email, who decided what the sign for Internet or email would be? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. Another example could be Starbucks. I see online that it has a sign,but at one point was it finger-spelled? Instead of finger spelling Starbucks, someone I guess made a sign for it. I guess I could have googled this question, but I would rather get my answers from the people on this website. Again, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just trying to learn all I can about ASL.
