    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Deafdyke, please note that I have not attacked you by making odd claims or trying to compartmentalize you in a negative way but you certainly don't mind doing that to me. If you have questions, please do ask. Attacking is not the answer. I have my own opinions, ideas and philosophy. You can...

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    I've not said anything about our contribution regarding actual pollution on land, air and water. I agree, it's a sad case and we can do better. What I do disagree is the hypothesis about the claim that humans are directly responsible for climate change because of introduced CO2.

    THat depends. If the climate turns much colder then sea level would start dropping.

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    Sea level has been rising at a rate of 3 mm/yr or about 1 ft every 100 years. No worries. All natural.

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    WIth CO2 as the main and major culprit? No. 99.96% of our atmosphere is made up of gases that doesn't include CO2. That leaves .04% for C02 concentration while human's contribution is even punier still compared to the amount on what the Earth stores and releases CO2. Water vapor and cloud water...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Agree. It can be done and has been done, obviously. Even my very good friend of mine who was born deaf and never wore a hearing aid can speak well enough but prefers not to since people have asked if she has a cold. Even Helen Keller learned to use her voice. I was thinking in the context of...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    True. Speech is only part of the whole component when it requires auditory input does it make a difference. It does not make a whole lotta sense to learn how to speak if one cannot hear him/herself speak. I agree on what you said about the listening part. All in all to me, totally, totally worth...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Comprehensible speech is intelligible speech which would be the minimum required understanding of the spoken language. I think everybody would agree on that one. How long it takes to attain this minimum level of speech intelligibility varies based on a variety of factors and circumstances. I am...

    Hate crime and the deaf

    Carl S isn't doing so well if you have watched some of his recent videos. It appears he has been undergoing some kind of treatment. He is atrociously thin. I wish him a return to good health.

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    I know that ice moved with the tides. With the tides moving up and down 30+ feet can certainly limit ice formation. Although I provided the videos to show that ice do form enough to do "pack surfing" but that does not do justice when in the past it was colder but it was also warmer, too, when...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Thanks. Been playing since I was 7. Once I entered college my playing slowed down as I needed to study and work. But I managed to find a few pianos on the campus of Gallaudet University at the library and even more and better pianos while I was a grad student at Univ of Idaho. Resumed my normal...

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    That's a big myth designed to generate sympathy from the public for political purposes thinking the population of polar bears are dying en masse from starvation. The polar bear population is healthy and the population continues to grow. Wild animals in any environment do face the prospect of...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Who? Speech therapy is an aid to help develop intelligible speech. It has nothing to do with a child's intelligence. It doesn't say anything about the child's intelligence. The amount of speech sessions varies from person to person depending on a variety of factors. Some acquire speech...

    Poll: If all of the Arctic (North Pole) sea ice melted....

    Cook Inlet's high tides average over 30 feet. It has some of the highest tides in the world with 3 other places having higher tides than Cook Inlet. High tides ensure that sea ice does not stay into one large piece of ice. Perhaps not so in the narrower part of the inlet such as Turnagain which...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    I have stated repeatedly in the context of intelligible speech. Speech therapy is the pathway to attain at a minimum intelligible speech, even with some some poor diction, and beyond. As long as people can understand the spoken words speech intelligibility is maintained. Speech intelligibility...
