    Is it Offensive to Talk while among a Deaf crowd?

    I agree with this. The important thing here is "if". Supposing only two of them sign and can't talk, should they write to both people?

    Is it offensive to sign in public?

    No, it is not offensive. I feel that your dad finds it offensive because he may have been left out when hearing people don't tell him what is being said.

    Name sign question

    For hearing people, yes it would be rude for them to pick a name sign for themselves, because it sends a oppressive message to the Deaf community: that those arrogant hearing people can hover over the Deaf community. For deaf people, not necessarily. Because they are fluent in ASL, they know...

    Music being signed.

    I like music to be signed in ASL because SEE is just too awkward to watch and I zone out too intensely. SEE is like TV and ASL is like a computer.

    Interested in learning ASL.

    This girl is using actual ASL. I compared it to the lyrics and found concepts expressed in her signing.

    Grammar

    In other words: The brain processes visual information with two pieces of information: space and time. Space describes where. For example, my computer is on my desk. The desk is on the floor in a house. Time describes when. For example, it is 7:10 am now.

    Why NOT to do payday loans

    OK, $1,500 dollars borrowed. The fee would typically be between $225 and $450, so I'll pick a number in between that - $337.50. The fee: Over 14 days (2 weeks times 7 days), you would be paying $337.50 / 14 days = $24.11 each day. You would be paying $8,800.15 in fees over 365 days...
