I wonder if that indicates a difference in origin between American Sign Language and the British derivatives. I guess that just highlights how different sign languages are from spoken languages, at least in terms of development. It's kind of funny to me that a "loud talker" in sign language is noisier in general, but I can see that. Is it also considered to be . . . not "rude" maybe, but mildly inconvenient?

Yeah, I'd be interested in learning about the development of the two. I've never come across anyone thinking of it as rude or inconvenient, it's just part of the culture, I guess?
