A while ago, I wrote about using sign language as long-range communication. I'd like to expand on that idea by asking, why not teach all kids sign language from the get go?
I think, for the most part, sign language is a seperate, exclusive mode of communication which can suppliment normal verbal communication. The idea came to me as I met this girl, who was the girlfriend of this dude (beer and then liquor will make you sicker, liquor then beer and you're in the clear) at my brother's friend's house... Uhh... Anyway, she was a teacher of some sort who used sign language, and when she would talk to me, she would just start signing. Sometimes, she would apologize and just say it was force of habit, but I thought it was totally cool. I wish I knew how to sign as I talked... So, casually looking into it, I signed up for the sign language Meetup... And that's that.
