ASL is a language

American Sign Language and other signed languages are languages. It’s important to respect them as languages.

ASL is not English. It is a completely different language. Similarly, signed languages aren’t all the same. British Sign Language is completely different from ASL.

Signs are not universal, any more than spoken words are universal. The meaning of a sign isn’t always obvious just by watching; many signs are completely arbitrary.

Sign is not pantomime, and it’s not ad hoc gesture. It’s also not like symbolic gestures that are sometimes made up to accompany kids songs either. It’s a language, with all the complexities of language. The difference is important, and it needs to be respected. 

In order to know what signs mean, you have to learn them. (Just like in order to know what spoken words mean, you have to learn them.)

ASL is not just gestures, any more than spoken languages are just sounds. ASL has grammar, vocabulary, and culture. It’s important to respect this and not erase it.

some signs can change completely in meaning based on the movement of eye brows. Other signs can mean something completely different if your pinky is sticking out, or where the sign is in relation to your body.

ASL is anything but a version of english that has silly little gestures attached to exact english words.

And by a few test clicks, we mean click the beat to an entire song, flip them in the air, almost drop them, then stop for a second, then keep going…the entire cook time. You know, just to make sure they work #BaristaLife #JustBaristaThings
