people who say that "asl isn't a real language and colleges don't have to accept it as a credit" fuckign INFURIATE me. shut the fuck up and go take 4 years of asl and get back to me on whether or not you think its still "not a real language"

#the dude who told me this used to live across from the maryland school for the deaf for 12 years btw :). DUDE #he said its bc asl has the same grammar as english (no the fuck it does not) and the written language would be the same #OKAY ???? LANGUAGES DONT NEED TO BE WRITTEN TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS A REAL LANGUAGE . HELLO.#also people who just assume that asl has the same grammar as english piss me OFF. NO IT DOESNTTTTT #or the people that say that theres only one sign language for the english language. literally no??#theres asl (american sign language) bsl (british sign language) ausl (australian sign language) nzsl (new zealand sign language)#ETC. goddd he pissed me off so bad #btw if you are fluent in bsl and asl you are considered bilingual! it is like learning mexican spanish and spain spanish!!! UGH.#whatever. can you tell i'm very passionate about this
