    ASL has its own grammar, which does not match English grammar. Hearing professors started getting angry when Deaf students who were native speakers of ASL didn`t follow English rules in their writing, and started pushing more and more for something called SEE -- Signing Exact Language -- which forced Deaf students to learn a whole new grammar in order to make things easier on their hearing instructors. The whole world is set up to be easy on hearing people, but that wasn`t good enough for us. We had to find the one corner that wasn`t designed to cater to our needs and take it over, and fuck the people who already lived there, who had a perfectly reasonable way of talking to each other, who didn`t need us to 'fix' them.
