Apologized accepted.
In my view it came across as judgmental. Right now I'm only disappointing with Jillio because of how she jumped in and defended you, I rather to have you explain your case without anyone jumping in the middle.

I would talk with people if they use ASL, PSE or even SEE. It is just that I prefer ASL as sometimes one would says something in ASL that hits me hard as I don't ever see anything like that in SEE/PSE. Berry said similar thing in ""ASL, SEE, POSE, etc" thread and it didn't sounded like that you were that upset with Berry as you were with me.

That's where you are wrong there, I did said something to Berry in the "ASL, SEE, POSE" thread. My question is why it must be this way, Is it important that deaf people should know sign language as a visual of communication, it doesn't matter which signs deaf people uses. I never told Libeling who lives in Germany that she must learn ASL in order to communicate with us in United States, she has her own form of sign language, and we communicate just as good as anyone would ever expected. This is the way it should be. We have to learn to accepted each others differences.

I agree with that two-way street bit. I did learn to speak for my family and did they learn sign language for me (especially that my eyesight could go bad later on)????? No, they made no attempt in learning the sign language. So where is the two way street?

I'm sure there's many deaf people who were and are in the same place as you and I. My family is the same way as yours. I too wishes they learned to go half way with me, as I've been with them after all it's two way street.
Thanks for sharing your story with me.
