.......not really because 99.9 percent of books and language are spoken and written. Sign is just.....different to me. To me, it's a visual way of communicating in place of voice. It doesn't really correlate to me. Okay, here it is. Deafies have to learn the English language if they want to write papers, read newspapers, write a resume, read books...it has to be in their native language where they are born like the rest of their people. Who's going to understand an ASL resume? lol, but I think this might help a little more with understanding what I mean. I hope it helps... Some people think Ebony is a language? Come on, is that a joke? I think it's a joke. It still uses English, but differently and adding up fancy language because you know how black people likes to talk. Still, we can't use ebony in a resume. I think it's a way of being a 'groupie' or should I say community language of their own.
