  1. I've really wanted to learn ASL. American Sign Language. If I went to college, that woulda been my major. Might still happen, who knows. I'm not sure why I want to learn it, I've just always had that itch.urge that it was for me. I'm not much of a vocal talker, I like to rely on body language more, and sign language is all about body language. Literally, lol. And I think it looks beautiful to speak with your hands like that. A few years ago, I learned a few songs to sign along with, but I've since forgotten them. Need to get back into that. It was a fun way to learn the signs for words.

  2. What a great idea ! Dang. I never thought to look to Amazon for learning aids. Huzzah !

  3. Uh...does this count ?

  4. Universal sign language....but this would probably be pretty funny as well.

    Thanks for the contest :D

Yeah, this is appropriative douchebaggery, aimed to appeal to the most puerile of audiences, done by someone who isn't actually fluent in ASL and so doesn't really know what she's saying - and any one of those offenses is sufficient reason to scorn the author, never mind all three together.

(And holy shit, there are 78 one-star reviews over the past three days? Somebody's brigading Amazon hard.)

Edit: I'm kind of wondering what y'all think of this book, which is getting much more positive reviews despite seemingly having the same problems (authors not Deaf, 'dirty' signs just transliterations of English words, not actually what native ASL speakers use) as the book above.
