Possible response: Look at you, all dressed up and out in public. It's like you're a person! Awwwwwww! My story: I'm hearing, and used to work at a customer service desk at a clothing store. I would try my best with my limited ASL and pen/paper to communicate with one of our regular customers...

What? Seriously??

Come on, we all know that after the first 3 classes of anything, the rest is just a bunch of made up fluff designed to keep you paying for college for the rest of your life. :roll:

Translation and interpretation are two entirely different ideas. Think about what the lyrics mean not only as individual lines, but as a story. What does he mean by the things he says? Is it good to sign "face in the crowd" literally or can you rethink it to be more clear? If you want...

Hallo! :)

I work on the weekends and had an event on thursday...just got back to my regular schedule today :)

The discrimination experienced by those that embrace themselves is definitely external, yes, but I'm referring to the actions of both deaf and hearing people that support the audist perspective as coming from an internal feeling of Deaf as less than. I think we fundamentally agree here, but if...

Good point, What it all comes down to is what is best for the child individually. Audism, it would seem to me, is a kind of internal oppression. While all people are different, and experience loss or deafness and growing up with it differently, the assumption that a person should at all...

This is a tv movie waiting to happen.

Gold flavor mild AT BEST, I sent it back.:roll:

A super cool way to increase tax revenue would be create more jobs by perhaps expanding important programs or spending on infrastructure, unfortunately even though it's a relatively good long term solution it will STILL require a higher debt ceiling and a short term spending burst. Unpopular...

This reply is so much win. On the topic though, I can't help but think what on earth drove her to that. Was he abusive, mean, horrible, or controlling? If not, and this was just an ordinary bad marriage, I'd hate to see her angry about something serious. Either way, sheesh what an awful...

I feel like on a forum, especially one for people who may or may not have had their first language as English, the important thing to do is convey your ideas to the best of your ability and contribute to a discussion thoughtfully. Being a grammarian on a writing forum makes sense, that adds to...

I'm in now (the tinychat) till 10pm EST or so

Thank you for this :)
