Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Not for nothing, ASL is a language, not English with hand gestures. This is as useful as showing a wall poster of the Greek alphabet and hoping to communicate with everyone in Greece.
Sure, it's useful for spelling your name, but that is not language, your name is just the noise someone needs to make to get your attention.
Actually less useful. Most of the letters are shown as the viewer would see them, but some are from the perspective of the signer, with no indication which is which.
I opened this to say that it wasn't really a cool guide, just an alphabet, but I don't think it was trying to claim you could produce the language by knowing some letters. In fact, knowing any language's alphabet alone doesn't confer the ability to communicate in that language. You could vaguely make a go of it with languages that rely heavily on logographs like Chinese, but even that won't really get you very far.
