    Weird thought I just had: do you think someone who doesn't know sign language would have an easier time understanding ASL or something improvised by another non-ASL-knower?

      @scribus Typed an entire response about how ASL would probably be the harder one only to realize that my reasoning applies to braille, not ASL. I found ASL somewhat easy to learn (could not use it today, though) and I’m crazy bad with foreign languages so maybe the answer’s in there somewhere?

        @zeldatra According to 2 people on a discord server I'm on, one of whom has a non-verbal child, improvised is easier (and the ASL sign for "Hallway" and "Focus" are the same except for the eyebrows)
