That's...odd. My dad has a difficult time saying it too. He used to call my deaf friends "hearing impaired". Yeah...i had to school the old man on that. He thought that calling them deaf was an insult. :hmm:
get yourself some deaf FRIENDS. trust me when I tell you that it'll do you a world of good. and don't just do it for purposes of advancing your career aspirations cuz they're wise enough to see right thru that.
:shock: ummm..are you even sure she was your girlfriend in the first place, dude? sounds like she was looking less for a relationship and more for free rides. you sound like a cab driver.
