I understand David to be saying that it doesn't matter if a signed video is
ASL or SEE: one is no more intelligible to English-speakers than the
other.  And I replied (in effect) that if your native language is Haitian
Creole and you're illiterate, it won't matter to you if a written document
is in Haitian Creole or Standard French.

David's .sig line:

I meant to mention before that that seems very artificial and impersonal to
me.  What's wrong with "Dum mi vivas, mi esperas", a straight translation
of "Dum spiro spero"?
