I’ve been signing my whole life, ASL is my first language. However, I don’t understand the term β€œclassifiers”. Can some one ELI5.

I’ve tried looking it up, and know it has something to do with the alphabet and using the letter sign, for another sign.

Why do East Asian languages seem to rely more on classifiers than European languages?

As per this Wikipedia article on classifiers, a classifier is "a word of affix that accompanies nouns and can be considered to 'classify' a noun depending on the type of its referent."

For example, in Korean we would use the word "gae (개)" to refer to "things" in general, but use "myung (λͺ…)" to refer to people. This directly translates over into Chinese as well.

I've noticed that many European (or maybe just English?) languages don't rely on classifiers, and I'm curious what the history of this would be.

Even if East Asian languages, you don't really need the diverse set of classifier nouns that we have right now in order to get the message across. In Korean, it suffices to just say "gae" for everything. I also recall seeing a meme about people who are learning Chinese and how they'd use "ge (個)" to refer to everything.

Is it possible to get the county to start putting up signs that explain what zipper merging is in areas under construction or that need it?

Too many people aren't aware of zipper merging and for some reason believe that merging over a mile and a half before the actual merge point and backing up traffic in one lane is morally superior than riding the other lane until the correct merge point. It is a huge hindrance on traffic, and people legitimately get pissed when someone rides the other lane all the way to the end.

Believe it or not, the person riding that lane to the end is doing the right thing!

My wife watched a small accident today because the person in the left lane absolutely would not let the person in the right lane over before the lane ended. Why the hell would you want to sit in a mile and a half long line instead of cutting it in half and smoothly merging without having to stop. Plus, if people know how zipper merging works and understand that you merge every other car, then traffic doesn't need to come to a standstill and becomes far more predictable.

In the old city I used to live in, they started putting up zipper merge signs that explained not to merge early and told you precisely when to merge. It took people a little bit to catch on but after a few days traffic was much better in that area and it no longer resulted in a mile long back-up. I genuinely think signs explaining what is right would go a long way.
