    how is the deaf culture viewed?

    Wow, I noticed that with my mom. She had started asking me questions during my first break after I switched to ASL Interpreting at college. She was against me going for the major in the first place, thinking it wasn't as in demand in the world (at which point I found promptly twelve...

    What happens if I don't even understand it when I treat it as reading ASL gloss/signing it myself?

    Interpeter's Personality

    I don't know if you are counting voice interpreters as well, but the last time I really needed one of those was two years ago. I am however, interested in seeing what people say.

    Interpreter jobs-deaf issuies

    Lighthouse said "With OR without." As far as the HOH thing goes, I agree with you. As long as the HA brings you to the point that you can pass the audiology test, and you pass whatever certification is required for the situation (NIC/RID or EIPA (in schools), or else state QA exam), then you...

    Odd texting grammar

    There must be some of that I have missed. I have been online for a long time, but my best friend, with whom I do most of my im'ing, always types out full sentences, except for things like lol.

    Odd texting grammar

    That one would be easy, since the use of "FINISH TOUCH" for arriving or going to a location is one of the first things Mrs. Godfrey hammered into our heads.

    Thanks for the transcript. Wish they had captioned it, cause that would have perfected it.

    Odd texting grammar

    It took her several times to explain the FROM-THEN-ON/after issue (we were discussing sex after marriage in review from a sermon in church that she missed, and she said "marriage after sex"). That was the simplest issue. A lot of it I couldn't figure out at all and had to wait on her being there...

    My mom sent me this video in a text message. I watched it at the library, but since I have no speakers, I missed the entire spoken part of it. Could someone put a transcript on it for at least the parts we don't see signed? hHC3M7KL2ns

    Odd texting grammar

    I am a terp-in-training (still, although the line between training and actual is blurring a lot. one more interpreting experience to add to the books. interpreting whilst they are dancing and a good bit of the talk is in Hebrew), so I have a fairly hefty knowledge of ASL. And as far as I know...

    Odd texting grammar

    I have been texting with Erica (extraordinarily HOH, the reason I got a texting package in the first place) for several months now and have many times had to have her repeat what she is saying. Aside from normal texting grammar and TTY abbreviations, she is typing in what, to me, very closely...

    I remember wanting to take a wooden mallet to all the people who thought they could do some of the things they do to Deaf people, my first signing (SEE) teacher, for example.

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Oh, there was another adult. Several in fact. But they were busy with their own gaggles. And I am close enough to when I was a kid that I can anticipate them. I am only 21, but I remember my own stupid stunts well enough to know what to expect. Remember, I worked there regularly, and have taken...

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Here's realism for you, you unmerciful pain in the neck. You don't know either, unless you have tried it before. What experience do you have that it is impossible? Yes, parenting is a 24/7 job. So is everything else in this world. Heck, even training to interpret turns out to be a 24/7 job...

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Ok, BEFORE you respond to this, read the following all the way through, THREE TIMES: Split the kids up between relatives and/or fosters, for a temporary purpose. Give her a time limit to establish herself in a job, pay bills, and obtain housing. Have her prove responsibility. Then evaluate...

    Octuplets' grandmother faces foreclosure threat

    Apparently you forgot to read the entire post. Go back, read my post about what she should do to redeem herself, and tell me how she is doing anything in that list? Those restrictions effectively prevent her doing what she is doing, if she follows them. Following them, she can redeem herself...
