What is there to prevent fake deaf from conning you? Hahaha.. Maybe this thread will be of some interest to you: www.alldeaf.com/sign-language-oralism/75678-students-looking-asl-buddies.html

What about defiant teenagers? For example, in some families the teenagers start to wear clothing that is not very flattering (very short skirt, t-shirt that exposes midriff, low cut jeans, ripped clothes, unsafe clothes). A typical conversation in a hearing house might go something like this...

hahaha, I think this is based on the same (usually empty) threat in English where parents promise to wash a kid's mouth with hot water and soap for uttering a dirty word. Washing out mouth with soap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know... you're just trying to relate. So are the people who tell me "complements" based on my race. The problem I have with it though, however positive and sincere their comments may be, is that they assuming a great deal based on something I didn't choose. They aren't telling me that "wow...

I hope I got it right! I drew these at a card donation table for a local hospital that was collecting cards for children in the hospital for xmas. Not sure how many deaf people the hospital has, but I thought it'd be cool for an ASL kid to get an ASL card.

How does this compare to CODA who are expect to interpret for their parents?

I have a feeling that most animals are following sign commands anyway. Just the other day, I saw a big dog at petco, doing whatever it wanted no matter how many verbal commands the owners shouted at the dog. But the dog followed all the the commands the owners made with their hands, as long as...

I wish I had a sign name, but I haven't interacted with a deaf person to be assigned one. I will continue to wait for the day I have the confidence in ASL to seek out local deaf people. :) Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

People have told me the same but with Asians... and I get offended by it because all it does is: 1. remind me that I'm a minority and do not belong in this country according to most people 2. remind me of how most people look at me and think about racial stereotypes like ninjas, kung fu, "sushi...

I would welcome more money being coins rather than paper. Although I rarely deal with money these days -- I can go a couple weeks before I have to touch my real money because everything can be paid for with card.

I'm not sure how young the kitten has to be to develop this behavior, but I heard from a cat owner that kittens that are weaned too early will dig/knead and nibble soft things, like sofas, cushions, and people. Or maybe she made that up to make me accept that her cat will jump on me or dig and...

They're either both bent or both straight.. I've tried to hold down my pinky with my thumb to straighten out my ring finger only, but in order to do so I have to make an O handshape first, then cramp my thumb onto my pinky, then straighten out the other three fingers. If I don't pin down my...

Weird thing is though, my left hand is just fine making the sign "W" or "6" without the help of my other hand. I'm probably going to give fingerspelling a break for a week or two -- the W handshape went from being merely uncomfortable/tricky to being inflamed/painful... so I'll give my hand...

I'm not really proficient in engines, but some research on the internet revealed to me that if you accidentally put oil/gas into a car, it will run just fine, and the exhaust will be a little blacker than usual as the oil burns away. Accidentally added oil&gas mix to my car's gas tank -...

Show us your effort: How do you think it should be signed? What specific research have you done towards this specific project? Also, when posting on a forum, removing the repeating lines is a good idea to save on time & space for forum users. You could also sort the sentences into what is...

It's only natural to want to defend one's property, but I think any sane person would stop shooting once they've realized that 1. the intruders are incapacitated 2. the intruders have no weapons not go to the next step and land a "finishing" shot. This isn't a spy movie! It's also really creepy...

This does sound really malicious. I think the first thought I would have after shooting any of them is "hmm, I should call the ambulance and the police, SO THEY DON'T DIE." But he did the opposite: he purposely shot them some more. confuse If this isn't second degree murder then I don't know...

Getting a partner who speaks the target language is one way to learn quick, but the problem then becomes: what happens when you want to learn a different language?

It's just hard.. I can straighten and bend all of my fingers. I can sign W and 6 just fine with my left hand, but on my right hand my ring finger wants to do whatever my pinky is doing. ..I can't bend my right pinky without having my ring finger pinky bend too.

Is there an alternative way to sign the letter "W"? I can't touch my thumb to my pinky without curling my ring finger too. If I try I either end up with what looks like a V or a very strange 4 with a thumb going across the palm. (There's a mirror on the left.) (I carefully pinned...
