Sign language travels faster than any other spoken language

This is because sign language uses light as the medium where every other spoken language uses sound waves which are slower than light.

People can lip read spoken languages so sign language is equally as fast as other languages

No, light always travels faster than sound….nobody said anything about distance/barriers.

If that's the criteria lip reading is just as fast as sign language so still false

That’s true. That’s not what the person I responded to said though.

"any other spoken language" implies that sign lamguage is one such spoken language

parent

umm, no?

parent root

2 points ByeGuysSry

Why not?

parent root

because sign language isn’t spoken? Like that’s the whole point.

parent root

3 points ByeGuysSry

Yeah, so the statement is either incorrect or implies something incorrect due to sign language not being a spoken language but the statement implying otherwise, depending on how strict you want to be

I think people are smart enough to realize that that’s not what the sentence means

parent root

2 points ByeGuysSry

Doesn't really change the fact that the statement at least implies something untrue

Sign language isnt really spoken though. Smoke signals and morse are just as fast but at long distances
