I have a question for everybody who uses a computer VRS program like Vision, VideoSign, or EnvisionSL. Do you ever wish that you could leave a message when you are calling another deaf? Sorenson lets hearing callers leave messages when you don't answer, but there is no same thing for people...

Naturally, without a whom, there is no smelling. There must always be someone or something to perform an action. However, the pretext of my question was that the performer of the action is neither given by the context nor the sentence being interpreted. Somehow, the action must, in ASL, be...

*smacks head on table* I knew that! I did! It just didn't come to mind. . . I referred to it as the "obscured subject" because I commonly use the passive voice to literally "obscure the subject" from my listener's attention. It is kinder to say "I was tripped" instead of "Bryant, that...

I have a question regarding ASL grammar. In English, there is such a thing as "obscured subject" (my own term). This is where one would say "It was punished," instead of the more concrete "He/she punished it." Another example would be "The orange was smelled" versus "He smelled the orange."...

I very much suspect you are being sarcastic here, but I just have to know for sure. Are you aware that there is no Matthew chapter 29, much less any verses that go with it? (Since the chapter you chose to "quote" is right after the last legitimate chapter in Matthew, I think it would be a...

Happy Birthday! (Even though I don't know who you are..........) And a happy un-birthday to the rest of you, although not as a happy as Phillip's day, because it's his actual birthday! .......I'll shut up now.

I am staying home and doing nothing. Monday I'll do some homework, and maybe pick blackberries! (Too bad they don't come with phone, texting, and internet access. :D )

I go to Northwest Christian University, and our mascot is a beacon! As in, a lighthouse!

I'm very familiar with the various Video Relay Services (HOVRS, Sorenson, Viable, etc.), but I have not often had the pleasure of observing/hearing interpreters from those companies in action. I rather suspect there already has been some talk in the forums about which service is best, but I'm...

Salutations. Legend has it that newcomers to the forum are to introduce themselves, so here I am. First, I am very much established as a hearing person. I am a cellist and pianist, and am incredibly fascinated with certain aspects of the English language. However, this fascination appears to...
