This should have more views. He explained it very well that there is more than one sign language in the world. The only problem was that when he used the American Sign Language sign for cheat that just means to have an affair. It's a different sign if you mean cheat at a game on or cheat on a test

I think his intent was only for the meaning of "cheating on someone", not actually cheating someone (like in a game or running a scam).

Mehki actually he did reference "to cheat someone" (as in steal or run a scam) when he referenced the fox

Robert Nicholson This was referenced in the video, it comes down to cultural differences. A foreigner to ASL may not necessarily know the meaning of a word, just the word. (Just like many foreigners use the wrong spoken word when visiting the US and making their best attempt at English). This is where context comes into play. If the signed sentence is "that man just stole a car" ... It's obvious, even if the wrong sign is used, what the meaning of the sentence is. The man obviously did not have an affair with the car.

Fabulous video. Thank you TedTalks, you should put the URL to the site referenced at the end video in the video description. After all, that was the main purpose of the talk!

There has been an American Sign Language To English dictionary since 1998, "The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary" by R. A. Tennant & M. G. Brown. You look up the English word based on the ASL handshapes & movements used in the sign.
