The signs of ASL are developed by the people who use it-- wherever Deaf people get together. Often, when there are several signs in use that refer to the same thing, one will become more popular. Signs that "seem" right win over signs that are awkward or seem conceptually wrong. Sometimes the various different signs will remain in use.
