This is a really strange tragedy. Previous tragedies of this type seemed to have almost an understandable reason (which in turn has resulted in anti-bullying campaigns and more mental health awareness), but I can't think of any reason why someone would want to shoot a 6 year old. I'm not sure...

if being able to lipread is your requirement, I would be prepared for a big challenge when it comes to Japanese and Korean. Those two languages take pride in the fact that you can even understand everything through gritted teeth and minimal lip movement. Not to mention, they're some of the...

Agreed. Things will not get better if you wait.

A police man once told me that even phones without cell service have the ability to make an 911 call. Would this apply to phones with no voice plan?

I can't really complain about gas prices. Sure, they're expensive compared to what I've used to paying, but they're still relatively cheap compared to the rest of the world. Why gas in the U.S. is so cheap - May. 1, 2008

Boo, I missed it!

The apocalyptic predictions based on the Mayan Calendar are all misinterpretations or exaggerations or some-real some-false facts about the Mayan Calendar. Mayan calendar: December 21 2012 won't be end of the world says Leonzo Barreno | Mail Online Debunking the Mayan Calendar "Prophecy" -...

Hmm.. this is giving me ideas. I am into airplanes/passenger flights right now, so it's in my interest area.

I would like to see more ASL incorporation in ELA elementary education.

I see links to resources on the top of the forum, but otherwise, no ads..

On a similar note, I've always wondered who takes care of the deer when they die in the middle of the road. Some people have told me you can report it to a non-emergency police phone number. Others have told me that it must be reported to the department of transportation. And some have told me...

Boy was he lucky. If the sons were out of control he might not be alive.

I signed up for and started on lifeprint's new website named "clearasl.com". It's supposed to be the same ASL lessons but in the Japanese language. I think the content was good, but there was too much content in one chapter. I'm not sure how to suggest to change that: because it is an online...

maybe by "deaf" she means hearing people are able to understand very little about what is being communicated from the neck down, much like how deaf people may not be able to understand much about what was communicated from the neck up. tl:dr; deaf needs to see neck down to communicate, hearing...

Literacy to me just means you can understand what's written. But, in order to demonstrate you understand what you read, you have to be able to explain what you read by communicating back to me what you think you read. ...so it probably does help if you can write or tell me, or have some other...

This is exactly why CODA-parent relationships interests me so much. I grew up interpreting and translating for my own parents. (Not ASL <-> English but Korean to English...) Everything starting from having to ask the airport bagging man where my parents could pick up their bags to making...

I can understand that... not to mention, no station wants to be accused of being racist or for taking advantage of differently-abled people. It can be tricky to feature minority actors because viewers can be offended by anything. On an unrelated note, I've been contemplating working on a story...

I didn't know those words didn't exist. Ugh.. it takes me like 3 seconds to spell out organism... in that same time I can utter 10 words. Yikes..

I'm hearing so I can't escape noise completely, But usually when I'm going to a store (especially one that's nuts about seasonal marketing), I will sometimes wear gummi in-ear earbuds that function as both headphones and earplugs. All the seasonal music drives me absolutely batty too (because...

I've heard and read about bluntnes in Deaf culture but I haven't experienced it in person. One example that I remember is when my friend was learning colors in class, one person signed "pink" from the nose instead of the chin. The teacher's reaction was "oh lol make sure to sign from the chin...
