Jesus I see why some people cant find raid teams!

I used it all the time growing up, it's just been so long since I've seen it! I watched a video that involved ASL so all I could imagine ASL standing for was American Sign Language hahaha.

Here's a Fun ASL Fact:

Someone was pointing out how flawed all of the studies on whether other primates could learn sign language (e.g. Koko). The reason they were so flawed is because ASL doesn't use English grammar, syntax, semantics, etc., rather it has it's own like any other language.

It's as unique as any other language, so what the trainers were doing is just getting the apes to associate certain sounds with words that caused the human to give positive feedback. Specifically in Koko's case, most of it was just the trainer/researcher interpreting what Koko actually meant when Koko gave the wrong sign. She never released any raw footage or data and only showed curated, cut samples of when Koko would occasionally get a word right. I mean just go look at "Koko's Last Message" and you'll see one of the most highly edited videos trying to pass off as genuine you've ever seen. lol.
