The sad thing about American Sign Language, in a sense, is that it has a different sentence structure than English. (Even sadder is the fact that every country has its own different sign language!!! Instead of deaf people all around the world being able to converse with each other, they're just as closed off as hearing people.)

Anyway, I've just visited a deaf website where the writing ability sucked. This is because they learn ASL, sign language, rather than English grammar, so many deaf people are functionally illiterate when it comes to reading. That's sad. Reading is my whole life...if I couldn't hear, it would become only more so.
