Oh I see, a while ago I changed the minimum font size on my browser. It locked in to where fonts would not get smaller than a certain degree, making fonts readable regardless of resolution! That's how come your smaller font didn't show up on my computer. But I get your meaning now and anyway...

Sorry, but that isn't a line break. It's still two lines (at least on my monitor) streaming continuously. Definition of 'line break': A line break will terminate a line of text and drop the next line of output down. It acts almost like a type writer carriage return when set to single space as...

It might be different on some people's computers. When I view your original message there is a space within the word "absolute" of the link you provided, looks like "a bsolute". Then when I quote what you're saying, the word 'absolute' is one word intact but I click on preview and it shows that...

The ultra-violet rays in sunshine can do wonders and kill mildew. Try hanging the clothes w/ mildew outside for a full day or two. After that, I guess maybe you can wash it with a stain-remover and see if it removes the black spots.

What kind of ear infection do you have? Is it water-related? Could it maybe be from water entering your ears from daily showering or swimming? I had persistent swimmer's ear for over a year while on the HS swim team, and applied a few drops of rubbing alcohol into the infected ear. Rubbing...

Linguists, run for cover. Hurry and hide your head in the sand. loml is coming!! ;)

Google Search for ASL Phonetics lists several college course descriptions offering classes on the study of ASL phonetics. Linguists think of phonetics abstractly when referring to ASL, because signs can be broken into smaller units, just like words can be broken down into smaller sounds. It's...

ASL is a very conceptual language. Similar meaning (conceptual) signs have the same sign, and the real objective consists of "painting" a picture with your hands. English grammar articles (the, an, a) are unnecessary as well as prepositions (in, on, under, above, behind, with, between, etc). The...

No problem, RR. :)

Check out Harris Communications, where there are 44 sign language books and plenty of other deaf products. When you click that link and the website opens up, look on the left margin at the webpage and click Books > Sign Language and you're there. You could also try ASLPro and Lifeprint--they are...

I understand the situation you are in and it seems that compromising is really the only way to go. :dunno2: As long as you show her that you're there and you understand what she's going through, that's the least you can do. You can sign the conversation to help her follow. But have you ever...

NFGTragedy- You made a solid statement above and what I think you're saying is true especially from the deaf point of view. One time my cousin and I were playing tennis at a nearby college, and there were some hearing college students playing volleyball. One hearing guy saw me signing to my...

You are correct about this limit for CI users. The limit for most recreational divers is 30 metres (about 100 feet) anyway. Myth: Implant users cannot swim, shower, or participate in sports. Fact: When NOT wearing the external equipment, users can swim, shower, and participate in any number of...

We have a little misunderstanding here. I understood what you meant and was just trying to contribute...but I think the way I worded it made it sound like I wasn't agreeing with what you meant, when I understood and agreed. No hard feelings, I hope. But let's talk about ways to experience total...

NFGTragedy, that is a very elucidated posting. Ruliya already taught me a new word *chuckle*. I really liked your post, and I agree but would like to include one thing. Even trying to mimick what being blind is like in every aspect would be difficult, because many blind people have developed an...

Glad that helped you, I used to ask hearing people to describe what it was like being able to hear music. They provided connotations/analogies and that helped me visualize it. Jazzy, sorry I provided too much information in the last post. I should've just answered your question briefly, but I...

Hearing loss probably doesn't go past the maximum audible intensity in the normal human ear. In air, the maximum audible intensity for the normal human ear is 140 dB. H.E.A.R. and Digital Recordings - "Frequency range: With normal hearing, one can hear frequencies from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. (...

Yeah, it's been tested by an audiologist..... very seldomly will I feel any pressure in my ear and I'm talking about like once a year... one time was at a NASCAR race car event where some people were wearing ear protection. One NASCAR car engine at full throttle can measure 130 dB but put...
