[sw-l] British Sign Language Flag in SignPuddle

[Sandy Fleming]

Trevor,

I believe they use both BSL and ISL there according to whether they're
catholic or protestant, though due to politics it's not easy to make out
exactly what the truth is.

Anyway, why use the flag of the USA for ASL? It's the usual sign language in
Canada too, isn't it?

Sandy
