Hey the grammar here isn't too bad. Even a lot of oral kids have difficulty with expressing themselves though writing. ALL it is, is the fact that many deafies approach English as a SECOND language. Look at posts made by people who speak English as a second language. You'll see the exact same syntaxial and grammartical errors.

If you implanted your child early with CI, your priority is to achieve the best results from implanting because time matters very very much with learning to hear and speak.
There will always be time to join deaf community and learn ASL.
Yes, it's important for a kid to get good training in learning how to hear and speak................but what if the kid doesn't have a flair for speech? Then you've got a kid who is SEVERELY language delayed. All the pro oral advocates make it seem like ALL dhh kids speak the "Queen's English"......but if that's true then how come a lot of kids are still in speech therapy for language issues? How come oral kids aren't great at English?
