Why no, I have never learned to read. My deafness has been a huge handicap in that area of life.

And as for text messages, as I am unable to read, I could never decipher the directions needed to learn to successfully operate a smartphone...

Is it serious post?

liyah1031

Yes JMH this is a serious post. This was a question asked in my class as stated. I'm just looking for responses.

Thanks

You either misunderstood the teacher or you need to find another class/teacher.
BTW, how do you expect people who cannot read or text to answer your written question?

Oh, I'm deaf.

I can't read. I can't write. I don't know how to do math, is 1+1=2?
I have learning disabilities too if you read that about me.

How did I end up in this thread??? What am I typing????
I have no idea what I'm doing... somebody help me out here.

(Did you really think if we're deaf here, and replying to your questions, we can't send and read text messages?)

DeafBadger

I can't read text messages, but I can read forums like this one just fine.

JMH

Since it’s serious post, then yes, we do communicate via text message. We also communicate through cellular phone camera and email.

And your point is? for trending illiteracy!

well thank you for answering whether your response was RUDE, indifferent, or responding accordingly I appreciate the feedback. No need for name calling or sarcasm. It was a genuine question asked by another student in my class. I just wanted a response. Thank you Caz, JMH.
You all have a nice day!!

[sigh] Yeah, I know. It’s unfortunately situation that they jumped on you with those comments. You see why I asked if it’s serious post or not - to avoid any misunderstanding. The original post does seem flatly rude, but I don’t think it was his/her intention. Only if you changes from “can you read text messages and reply” to “use text messages” would have avoided any rude comments from them.

Reba

How old are you? What is an SLP class?

Your question is a little confusing because it's such a long run-on sentence with garbled word use.

I would think deaf people would prefer ASL. Lately, when I sell bikes, instead of paper and pencil, customer and I would negotiate via texts. I think that the OP was asking if deaf people and other people text back and forth, ya know in place of ASL.

Bottesini

That makes sense.

Too bad they wrote "deaf vs hearing", meaning versus.

Is that a college class? The OP's post didn't read like college level English.

Yes, AD has been "lab" for many students. (p.s. It's guinea pig. )

JMH

Well, I know many hearing people that write pretty bad english - even some of them attended college. No one's perfect.

Can you read captions in this picture?

Yes I think it is a college class, seems like LCCC has something like that here in Cheyenne.

I thought it might spell "gui" but the spell check kept changing it so I gave up.

ginnie pigs for sale, gennie pig, ginnie pig pictures, gini pig, ginnie pig slang, ginnie pig cost, ginnie pig facts, ginnie pig tdi forums and as many for Guinea now I feel better my spell check pulls off Google. Think I will switch back to Microsoft.
