First thing you need to know. X1 is usually full of it. He even admits to making crap up to "tell a story" And that's all it is, a story.
As for your statement, ASL is influenced by French Sign Language, but it's still a wholly created language. Has no Chinese history.
Everyone wants free training in the trucking industry.

A employer in Arkansas thought to take me on in Batesville over 20 years ago and as luck would have it I suppose I was able to build a life here etc.
That's one thing which takes a certain amount of money and courage to do and it's not too difficult in a trucking industry, you are very mobile with extremely little baggage. I came here with 7 days clothes in one suitcase, a pack of papers related to me and 3000 dollars. And everything took off from there. I stayed. Even though this state sometimes make the news when they do something seriously hee haw stupid and get laughed at now and then. I never forgot Baltimore though, but it is not the city I grew up in and never will be again. Not with the poverty and violence consuming the place. So it's a good time to go.Louis1993 Thanks this. -
In Signed English of the old style:
"Mother, I am going to the store. I will be back in a while."
Everything with the exception of the qoutation marks is conveyed in hands to the other deaf person in English. If you were to talk to a elderly, they light up in joy and understand you perfectly. IF you talked to a millenial deaf who does not know that form of english, then you have what is called a living language problem. You explain the history then teach the punctuation signs and so on so forth etc. Eh.. who has time for that! Ha....
Now if you took that store situation and converted to ASL it will come out thus"
"Mom me Store later" (Very few gestures and extreme fast conveyance of the gist of the situation)
It is not difficult for Mom who is familiar with ASL to reconstruct the situation and if any further is required, then it will not take too much time.
If I tried that in english in writing, it does not work well.
In ASL the old positions of Time, Space, Past, present, future tense and so on so forth etc along with the protagonist and antagonist situation still remains in the space around your body as you convey the situation. Essentially point point point once you establish it to another deaf.Louis1993 Thanks this. -

But when he does its on TTR -
Still doing my research, and I know no one is going to throw me a penny or a crumb unless they could get 100x out of it, the trend says 'need unlimited number of drivers' or whatever, but my 6th sense tells me its a temp tactic similar to what happened with Call center/Hi Tech> Solar>Pharmacist> Nursing which were gutted by offshoring, inshoring, gimmick visas like H1, H2, L1, L2, J1, CPT, OPT and on and on so every time there's a need the hype exceeds the reality million times.
When a Mega or anyone trains you they have trucks sitting in the yard which need to keep rolling or it loses $300 to $500 a day and they need ~~suckers~~ erm trainees who get a golden chance at a new life living afaik in a box 24/7 one week out 1 day home type of opportunities which is how food, a home, and cars can be bought, which if you factor in the hours comes out to min wage but in today's reality is akin to the messiah floating in from heaven to save us.
The cost of training, quality and the experience American workers have to endure is explained by using terms we are familiar with ' it is whet it is' or 'at tha end if tha day' etc. I found that WIOA/Workforce grant after jumping thru a few loop holes gives you a grant check even if you make up to $65,000 in some states to upgrade your skills, people needing to avoid contracts and a huge bill which will ding their credit report should look in to. My dad quotes W.C Fields and one of his favorites was "You can never cheat a honest man". -

My company recently hired a kid off the street and gave him FREE CDL training with ZERO obligation whatsoever so it's out there if you want it bad enough.

University graduates didn't get free training. Years later they're still trying to pay off a huge tuition debt.
So, what's the big deal with a 12 mos. contract with a trucking company?
