trying to figure out what a sign you don't know means is hell on earth actually I think it's impossible

#shitpost #(started vent/ranting in tags a little? not super serious) #i am. SO annoyed at my homework right now #because it uses a secondary learning site thing. which means. not everything quite matches up #so sometimes signs will come up I just. haven't learned yet. and they assume you know #and it's also. not simple or easy to look up a sign you don't know #like. it's a movement #but to even TRY looking through the reverse dictionary you gotta know the hand shape and orientation and location and direction #and how many hands. and even then you gotta go through the whole list of possible meanings #and it's like. I just want to know this ONE sign so I know more clearly what you're asking me! #if you have someone in your life who knows and you can just ask that's great #I. however. do not have that #so I am here like. I /know/ what you're talking about I /know/ generally what the theme is here #but that ONE sign is messing! me! up! and i can't properly answer the questions! #and this isn't even testing my knowledge of the unit at hand that sign is unrelated -_- #I would score better if I could just!! figure out that other unrelated sign so I knew what answer you want me to give! #aeorigarngar #anyway #i have yet to successfully look up a sign I don't know and figure it out #the only way I've ever been able to figure out a sign I don't know is if I vaguely remember it and can look it up #or the written questions (on their rare appearances) use words that tell me what we're talking about #and then I can look THOSE up #but like. at least how things are now looking up a sign you don't know is virutally impossible #and SO annoying because i have no way to learn it otherwise #i'm not gonna send my instructor an email every single time I don't know a word they both suck at responding to emails helpfully #i say this without malice just with truth #I have yet to receive a single helpful email from either of them. and this is what. year 3? #ANYWAY guess who's annoyed at homework #this is what I get for learning asl online I guess
