Is it true that there is only 1 universal sign language and you can communicate with everyone on the world who knows sign language. Or is that just a myth? If true, presto universal translator! Convert language A to sign language, convert back to language B...

A common misconception is that all sign languages are the same worldwide or that sign language is international. However each country has its own, native sign language, though they may share similarities to signs used in another country.
Hundreds of sign languages are in use around the world and are at the cores of local deaf cultures.

Check, a myth as expected

Still wonder why the BBC had news broadcasts with someone signing at the side, why not use subtitles.

Although adding radioactive zombies to the news does make it more interesting. (A hoax btw)
