I share this again. If you want to learn real language, it’s British Sign Language.

The hearing world continues to pillage and caricature the deaf community—most recently with the proprietary, sign-based system Makaton.

This.
Great piece!

Lots of reasons to be angry are noted, but I chuckled at this, "We do know that in some cases, Makaton-issued signs have a totally different meaning in BSL—for example, the Makaton for “crab” appears more like “undulating vagina” in BSL."

Learn languages, not systems.
