The world of sign language is a wonderful thing to experience.
With just a little bit of attention, it's easy to figure out a basic subject of the discussion among the deaf community – perhaps even the exact words if you are a step above the rest.
The other day, I watched five people who were hard of hearing trade barbs about catching footballs and the like. It was quite a treat -- even though I don't know sign language at all.
There was some of this too -- hands going up, hands waving back and forth and the fingers wiggling.
It means applause. But even if that's not real apparent, the smiles on everyone's faces were easy to translate in any language.
