JBird liked post by kellycat On thread : How old are you guys?

I'm 37. I've never minded saying how old I am. I just tend to make people guess before I tell them. (They always guess low, it makes me feel like I'm spending good money on my skin care.) ...

GrendelQ liked post by kellycat On thread : Language Acquisition, Food for Thought

There are just mean, nasty people in this world. Unfortunately they end up being related to perfectly nice people. If it weren't the hearing issue, they'd probably be emotionally abusive to you...

metalangel liked post by kellycat On thread : How did ASL grammar and English grammer get to be so different in the USA?

The reason ASL grammar may seem to resemble an Eastern European person speaking English (or some other immigrant) is that ASL shares some characteristics with those languages. Russian, for example...

Arthaey liked post by kellycat On thread : How did ASL grammar and English grammer get to be so different in the USA?

My students ask me why Spanish grammar is different than English. Actually, they say "backwards", because in their eyes, Spanish is wrong and English is right. Anyhow, I simply say that they are two...

honey.toronto liked post by kellycat On thread : Two HoH/Deaf people having children

I wouldn't hesitate. I'm hearing, so I might feel a little outnumbered in my house if everyone was deaf but me, but if we wanted kids, that wouldn't cause me to pause. I have a friend with PKU, a...

Bottesini liked post by kellycat On thread : A way to induce temporary deafness?
