What is the IMS6 Sign Language?

That is the first question that comes to our minds when we first read of the headline. Well IMS6 stands for Independence Middle School 6th graders, and the language was invented by numerous 6th graders, mainly G Web and Erin.

What is the purpose of this language?

The purpose of this language is supposedly to communicate with people in others part of the gym during lunch, and to trick people who are not fluent in IMS6.

Who uses it?

The IMS6 language was created by G Web, AshRC, Erin, and maybe another person one day after school. Apparently as this language becomes popular of this clique (which might include you), because well mainly, its cool and it also secretly insults people without people getting mad.

How could this affect me?

This language can affect you because if you are a user of it, and a staff member asks you what are you are doing, you have a lot of talking to do. This can affect you because if you know what people are saying about when they use this, it is likely to cause some emotional problems with these people. If you are using this, be careful, because one move, and you could have people hating you.

Who has been insulted by it? (List does not fully contain all of the names).

What is the purpose of this series?

The purpose of this series to crack down on this language and inform people of all the signals that IMS6's can make and make you mad. We will find out more information about this over this period of time.
