Quite true.
 
now now bottesini, bite your tongue:lol::lol:

I wonder if that was serious given the timing:hmm:
 
So I take it from all these posts that what it is like to be deaf in America is that you are dribbled on for talking with your hands, and if you use Americanese you are dribbled on for using language incorrectly, full of slangisms and crapola -- But if you don't you are dribbled on for not using English like an American -- you be so formal you sound like a furrenner. & u btter nt use netspeak.


Sounds to me like being deaf means you can't win the language game.

RID & NTID describe fluency in language as having the ability to play with it -- Prescriptive grammar does not allow play.

And now I gots to goes to work for earn a puter so's I ken keep track of y'all.
 
sarcasm in in highest form, lol made me laugh:lol:

yet less of the american, there's other folks who are members that live, use and abuse the english language, outside the US:lol:
