Join a Facebook group called &quot;Deaf World Love Sign Language V.I.P&quot; (signers from all over the world. can&#x27;t even comment in the same language)<p>If you know sign language, you can pretty much understand what they&#x27;re saying. The first time I noticed I understood someone in Brazil, talking about work, I didn&#x27;t notice that... I was understanding them. I didn&#x27;t understand certain stuff -- slang --.<p>Yes, abstract and non-literal. It&#x27;s because of the PC brigade. Growing up... things were a whole lot different. It&#x27;s still pretty much literal.
