How would I sign either of the following two passages? (I have an assignment due Monday (signing a book), and I foolishly forgot to ask my ASL teacher about this, even though I remembered to ask about adoption and Korea. :P) "Hello, my name is Nico. Actually, Nicola, but everyone calls me...

This actually explores a point I've just been realizing (in a non-Deaf-related way) recently. I hate the way a lot of neurotypicals/non-autistics talk about people on the autism spectrum. "Like OMG! My brother/sister/friend/nephew is so awesome and so brave and so cute (even though s/he's...

It's at 2 minutes in this video: I think I've seen that prom sign used before, but I can't recall where.

I love the reporter's ignorance! It's a bit funny. :) "OMG He'll get the deaf vote for sure! (Because he can sign thank you, therefore he MUST know ASL!)" And Michelle "conversing comfortably" was her voicing "I know" and then showing that she could say "My name is Michelle" in SEE. :P...

:wave: Welcome! :wave: Out of curiosity, what college do you go to? And where/how are you learning ASL? I'm a freshman Deaf Ed major at Ball State. Welcome to the forum!

CC1 and CC2 share bandwidth, so when CC1 is used, there isn't as much room for captions in CC2 (which could be used for captions in another language). So when a program offers captions in another language, they'll often use the newer CC3 and CC4 (which share bandwidth with each other, but not 1...

I wear the same three pairs of pants for two weeks at a time, but that's because I only have three (I happen to wear the size that they're ALWAYS OUT OF in anything decent-looking when I go to the store). I wear a different shirt every day. I think it's a teenage boy thing, because my brother...

My mom disliked being woken up at 4 am by the sun when Indiana didn't have DST. I don't mind it, but I also never change my clocks to DST!

Why I Choose Not to Drop Sign Language for My Daughter Who Has a Cochlear Implant Try this one.

Same here.

ASL is a separate language from English. It is arranged in a different way from English that makes it easier to show spatial relationships. I don't know about other countries. ASL naturally uses the syntax/grammar it does because it's a more intuitive grammar for a visual language; to graft...

:eek::barf: :ugh: (^Only because there wasn't a spit take smilie)

Wow... I commented on Hear Indiana's Facebook wall, mildly criticizing their tone, which I believed to be a bit overzealous, and followed the criticizing comment with a "no offense." And now my comment is gone and I appear to be blocked from commenting at all. If the other mysteriously...

Yet another: Passed 40-8 in Senate. It goes off to the House now, and if it passes, it'll go to Governor Daniels's desk.

Another update: The Senate vote is "likely to be" tomorrow.

I felt the need to point you to these blog posts (it wasn't so much a conscious thought as a nagging feeling in my brain). They don't super directly apply to your situation (though at the same time, they do), but you might find them interesting. (I happen to like the way this woman thinks a...

Other: Well, I was 12, and I was watching TV. Saddle Club Sundays on Discovery Kids had just ended, so I started channel surfing. I turned it to PBS, thinking nothing would be on (because that timeslot had previously been showing something like Sewing with Nancy). An episode of Signing Time...

I put other because I'm somewhere between "Yes, some" and "Yes." (I hope this wasn't restricted to deaf members! :o :P)

Update: Bill passed through committee 10-1.

I guess my major problem with this bill is that the major proponent is an oralist organization. I mean, why are IAD and NAD against it so much, and why are Hear Indiana and Cochlear Implant Online so for it? Something seems fishy. Also, I found this on American Society for Deaf Children's...
