Let me put it this way...it is general knowledge (from my understanding) that it is commen sense not to change spoken English to follow French syntax (structure) and vice versa and I dont believe that there were any attempt to do that. People in general respected the fact that French has its own grammatical rules and structure so they knew if one wants to learn French, they must learn the language as it is rather than changing it to meet English's rules and structure but yet, people do it with ASL. My question is ...why? What makes that ok? What makes people think that it will really make full sense to children like spoken English and signed ASL does?  (not asking you, Botts, but in general)
