How About an International Sign Language Everyone Can Understand?
I don’t mean “Gestuno” which, no doubt is great for the deaf, but a sign language we can all use wherever we go or when foreigners visit us. Imagine being understood everywhere in the world, simply by using our hands.
Many people talk with their hands flying all over the place anyway. Too bad the signals aren’t specific words with actual meanings.
Many small children are being taught to “sign” nowadays before they become verbally skilled. Wouldn’t it serve us better if we taught them a language that would be extremely useful as they grew, making them uni-lingual?
Wouldn’t it also be wonderful if computers could translate the words into international sign language so that we could communicate via the internet with everyone else in the world?
