@aysc Why do Americans think the rest of the world resolves around them? We call it ‘gebarentaal’ or ‘sign language’, not ASL. If the acronym was spelled out, several billion more people would have immediately understood it.

    @axel That's because there is no "common sign language". sign language differs for each language. There's American sign language, french sign language and even international sign language. @aysc

    @axel@hsnl.social Way to prove my point. And don’t accuse Americans of doing what you are literally doing *right now*, you hypocrite. 🙄
