This is ASL??? I thought ASL used hand positions for words, not weird symbols. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

This is English? I thought English used vocal patterns for words not weird symbols. --Eira omtg! The Goat be praised. 03:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
English is also a written language. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
English can be written in Cyrillic as well. This is SignWriting, which is a method of writing sign languages, and thus is used as a representation for the ASL. We would never claim that someone wouldn't know English, simply because they can't spell/read it. --Eira omtg! The Goat be praised. 03:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
So are these representation of hand movements? Please stop being obtuse and explain what this symbolic language is. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:27, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I thought you were trolling me... Yes, this is an orthographic system that writes hand shapes and movements. This represents a version of the "Official English" but translated into ASL. --Eira omtg! The Goat be praised. 03:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
I see, thank you. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
