This title was tricky thing to say because I been seen all among people who does not know any sign language. They always think we are doing the gang signs. OUCH! No one understands us. We are NOT gang, we are signing our universal language to make communications each other like you do the French or Spanish. We does not understand you saying so those fore you do not understand us signing. That.
I have seen gang signs too and not understand them either! That is true because we did not sign like that. If you seen one, then think twice they are gang. If you seen deaf or sign language person, then think twice they are talking.
Happen to me all the time. They could get angry with me for misunderstanding conversion with so got frustrated with them so easy. I still wish they would understand me instead of think of me like gang signs. No Shit! Excuse my language.
Hope that helps….
