It has served me well since the age of thirteen when I lost the ability to use my voice. I found it limiting and frustrating at first but eventually came to love it. It's very expressive and actually beautiful at times. Almost poetic. The guys on my soccer and baseball teams in high school all learned to use it to some degree and found it useful for communicating across a playing field.. without our opponents knowing what we were saying. Since the average person doesn't sign I find that they pay much closer attention to what I'm saying when I sign than when I use written messages. I always manage to make myself understood one way or another. Works for me with few real drawbacks.
