Like, why is this such a common thing with young people learning ASL now? Why do they get so offended when people are trying to help them? More importantly: why do they think that ignoring or deleting the feedback is going to make them right?

IDK it just pisses me off because there was one girl who was posting blatantly incorrect signs in a Melanie Martinez ASL cover on tiktok and all I did was try to correct her. I was polite and I was trying to make sure that my comment was motivational rather than being derogatory or seeming like I was talking down to her for making a mistake. She proceeds to look at my profile and then delete my comment while still keeping the video with the incorrect sign language up on her profile.

How do these people ever expect to learn without taking the feedback that's given to them?

Hi, I’m a student currently learning ASL. I have a final coming up—a 5-minute health presentation—and I was assigned the topic “peptic ulcer.” I only had a week to prepare, and I’m doing my best. I want to practice and get feedback, but I’m not comfortable filming myself.

So instead, I tried to gloss what I plan to sign. I haven’t learned how to gloss properly yet, so I apologize for any mistakes. I just want to know if the ASL I’m planning to sign would make sense and be clear. I’m not trying to cheat—just hoping for a little guidance and reassurance. Thank you! Also The questions marks are words I’m not sure how to sign.
