Having perfect English does not make a person perfect! I had clients that had poor English and where also illiterates and I would rather had spend more time with them than some of my clients that had perfect English!

I can laugh at my mistake if I say something imperfect!

We need to start paying more attention to WHAT is being said instead of HOW it is being said.

I agree people thoughts can get lost in words , it is too easy to misjudge what a person means. I think we something all jump instead of standing back and trying to understand what being said.

derek, The weird English seen with a lot of dhh kids is due to a lot of reasons. Being mainstreamed (ie they only got remedial instruction, instead of TOD instruction), the fact that both oral and ASLers can approach English as a second language, or who may not have great written language (very common with oral deafies)

**shel90** · 08-23-2011, 04:39 AM

Talking about who has good English and who doesnt is a very very sensitive subject in the Deaf community.

I would tread the waters carefully, if I were you.

It is good to have good English, as English is the language which the maximum number of people understand in the world. I can also write quite good sentences. I want to correct the last yours last sentence from "Nothing wrong with using ASL or English for communicate or writing" to "there is nothing wrong in using either ASL or English to communicate or write".

Please correct me If I am wrong.

That is true too. Most people speak Mandarin in their day to day life. But when you consider all the people on this earth that knows English as their second language - much more people know English than these who knows Mandarin.
