@yungpapist The meaningful units of vocal languages are composed by recombining a finite set of meaningless units called phonemes (e.g., /k, a, t/ can be recombined to form cat, act, tack etc.). The same is true of sign languages.

Tired of reemphasising points about "correctness" and "grammaticality" in language. So here are some fun linguistic facts: 1. Not all languages have tense 2. There are around 6000 languages in the world of which about 5% are sign languages 3. Most people are multilingual

Totes to brag, but tonight I handed Keanu Reeves a copy of my book on the Matrix franchise. I gave my book to Neo. And it was a transcendent experience, I may never come down from this high.
