I mean the whole school I went through kept nailing in our heads how much a foreign language would benefit you. I guess this went under the noses of whoever like teaching kids to balance a checkbook.

    That would be good, and in line with Plains Sign Language’s legacy. It was created as a trade language and adopted by the deaf. That said, sign languages are living languages and without much mass communication in them they drift pretty hard and fast. All said Plains would be a really cool choice, but French Sign Language (LSF) would probably be the most practical choice.

    So yeah, if everyone could agree on a sign language to learn, my deaf ass is in.

      well us adults would likely never really see the benefit but as I said in a generation or two it would be huge.
