ASL classes should be taught by members of the Deaf community, yes! That includes CODAs and experienced interpreters (mainly for interpreter certification programs). Native American signs also need more exposure as it often served as a lingua franca among tribes.

Plutarch had Julius Caesar declining to be crowned king when Marcus Anthony proffered a laurel-lined diadem at least twice! His reply was supposedly "I am Caesar, not a king." Napoleon did take the emperor crown from the Pope's hands and crowned himself.

There was this Fantasy/Sci-Fi writer, Robert L. Asprin. In 1 of his MYTH books, there was a place called Jahk with a "The Big Game" trophy that was the ugliest, gaudiest the main character ever saw! His description of that trophy formed a mental image in my mind that fit nothing in RL until today!

You're not wrong! I was like, are we spotting points again, cuz Mahomes wont let us get away with that like Hurts did! Thankfully just that one TD, because Mahomes did his thing a coupla times. Only other time was those two plays we got lucky especially the Turpin recovery, I was yelling KICK IT!
