Your description of ASL here is a red flag. Temporal aspect and grammar are not encoded in specific signs, and the sentence structure is derived from French. I can read some truths into your words here, but it's a damn stretch.

As a hearing person with knowledge of the language and friends in the community, you sound like an barely-informed hearing person with a capitalist-savior complex. If that isn't you, be transparent about who you are and why you're in the business.
