My youngest brother is nine now. When he was a baby, my mom was an interpreter for the deaf and so it was natural for her to teach my brother to sign. He was signing at 6 months old and loved to tell us to turn the lights on, pointed out "hats" when we watched football games, could tell us...

Personally, (although I would have to do more research on the matter) if I had a deaf infant, I would teach both ASL and English simultaneously. I’ve seen several examples of children with one Spanish parent and one English parent who know both languages equally well. It's easier for young...

Thank you all for the input. I'm currently learning ASL. Mostly it's just the signs right now. The rules don't really start in any great detail until the next class. I agree with you, Reba, that learning SEE is alluring simply because it's so much like the spoken English I've grown up...

My family is very big on celebrating Thanksgiving together. The few days before, I'll be alternating school with baking. Then, everyone will go to my parents' place and we'll play games and eat dinner. Then we'll go see a movie. Fun times.

Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert on anything concerning the Bible, but I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. I looked up this verse in 2 different versions, the Modern King James version and the Contemporary English version. These were the two results I got...

Thank you all for the input.

Thank you very much

Yes, I know that see has quite a few differences. That's why I'm curious if it's still in widespread use.

As well it may be. I was simply asking a question based on the previous statement. Pardon, exactly which "wild" claims might those be? I simply said I found it hard to swallow that someone would be stupid enough to "help” candidates into office by giving each of them the exact same number...

Ok, I have a dilemma. I attend a school with a high concentration of hearing students taking the interpreter course and deaf students. I am also taking the interpreter course (I'm in my first semester). Naturally, I would like to practice as much as possible. So, here's my situation...

At my school's bookstore, they sell a very large See sign book. I was wondering, I hardly ever hear about see signing anymore, how commonly (if at all) is see used? And if it's used, where and by whom?

So going by what you just said, couldn't one conclude that since truth is stranger than fiction, all of those candidates got the same number of votes completely by citizens casting their votes? Completely legit and legal? Or does your logic only work toward your benefit?

So you're saying that if someone voted for Bush than they are in massive denial, ignorant, and oppressive? First, for the sake of argument, let's put denial and ignorance aside. Oppressive? That's quite an accusation to make when you don't know MOST of the Bush supporters. Second, you...

That was exactly my point. If someone were going to "help" candidates into office, they wouldn't use the same number for all of them because it's easily caught and it's obvious.

From everything I've seen lately Bush has between a 51 - 52% approval rating. Why then is it so hard to believe that he won? In fact in a Times poll, when people were asked who they would vote for, the answer was 52% Bush. According to gallup.com, 51% of Americans say they are pleased with...
