    Help identifying a sign?

    Lol, now that's going to be a problem. How do you get a whole world full of people with different opinions and ideas to agree on a common language :) 37 years and not much has changed :P ASL seems to be optimized for speed, whoever made the signs seems to have been thinking, how can I best...

    Help identifying a sign?

    Yes but everyone understands what they mean anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter where you're from, if I say pants instead of trousers, or glasses instead of spectacles, or boot instead of trunk, you know what it means because you can picture it in your mind, and the pictures are all the...

    Help identifying a sign?

    True... but it's probably very close to 95% and getting closer. I mean okay there are differences, but trade-wise, it's almost entirely the same. For instance, if you're in the store, and you want to buy bread, you can ask someone where the bread is. It doesn't matter whether you're in the US...

    Headline is misleading, they did not resort to bartering, they created their own currency to replace the Euro :P

    Have you bought from "Hearing Aid Battery Shop"

    I'm buying from my audi, because well I trust her lol. And besides, I'm always walking in and using the equipment so I guess I might as well. Also I don't have to wait a week for batteries to arrive :) Also batteries have an expiry date so I wouldn't want to buy them in bulk and not use them...

    Buying FM system

    If you have "issues processing sound" in background noise you might be hard of hearing lol. Anywho, an audiogram test will tell you whether you actually have hearing loss or not.

    Help identifying a sign?

    That's the whole problem with sign language, it's like Linux, there's no one sign language but they are all sign language. So someone who knows ASL can't understand someone who knows BSL, and they both can't understand someone who knows Aust. Sign Language. And then there're PSE, SEE... all...

    What kind of gun sling do you prefer?

    Most people I know hand carry because it feels more natural. I guess it's just easier to point that way, without the sling getting in the way of things. Also if worse comes to worst and you have to use the butt end, it's probably easier to swing lol :)

    Surreal Graphical Depiction of Society...

    I get it lol, yea some people just want to look like they're helping. It's like having a sign in a window "we hire deaf people" and then rejecting everyone because they can't hear lol :)

    hearing aid in one ear....and people think the other ear is fine..

    Yea lots of people think HOH means sounds are too soft. It doesn't occur to them that with hearing loss, things are both too soft and too unclear, so shouting is not going to help and will probably make it less clear lol :)

    In a world where records are permanent...

    Very true, what if it was better sometimes to lie? what if some bleeding guy runs past you, followed by a guy with a machete dripping blood. What if he asks you where the guy went? are you going to tell the truth or not? Life was maybe a lot simpler then, you worked hard, you told the truth...
