    You figure it out on your own please. You can't cheat by coming here. And besides this is not an ASL teaching forum.

    problems with english expression or idioms

    Cockney, British or Scottish english idioms! Great! The more idioms I know, the better off I am. Up the Clyde on a banana boat! "Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.” -Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

    problems with english expression or idioms

    Sorry hoichi, I aint talking about culture here. FYI English is full of expressions, phrases, idioms or whatever else you want to call it. How about 'cow it'? I never heard of it. What is it? Something you made up? According to the context of your post I think cow it means 'forget about it' or...

    problems with english expression or idioms

    I'm not saying that "just means some folks can't process the meaning immediately". I'm not referring to the speed of processing idioms. I"m referring to my lack of knowledge of many of the common idioms typically found peppered in everyday spoken English. I find that I have missed many of them...

    problems with english expression or idioms

    Have you ever screwed up on english expressions or idioms? I'm prone to doing that even though I read a lot. I take so many of them literally! Just the other day I had received a text from a hearie saying 'my heart stopped and my gut dropped. I felt like I was sucker punched.' I thought she...

    what do you like about hearing culture?

    @drphil I'm really confused about what you are saying concerning deaf people in general. It seems to me that you are lumping ALL of us into some sort of a nonentity existence. Like we're second class or something?? We don't have a culture per se? Did you say you have taken sociology right...

    what do you like about hearing culture?

    We are direct. Straight from point A to B. No beating around the bush! We point. We point when we talk or sign. We point to use as pronouns and even when I talk I point! When I say 'you' I point. When I say 'he', I poiint at the guy. Hearing people don't do that and they consider it rude. So...

    The History of Toilet Paper.

    Well....back in the ancient roman times there were communal toilets... and communal sponges on long sticks. After sponging, the sticks were dutifully shoved back in the little holes filled with salt water in front of the bigger holes used for... well you get the picture.

    do you know what caused you to not hear?

    What is it exactly? I googled the term (Enlarged Vestibular Aqueducts ) but I don't think I have it. Mine's sensorineural in both ears.

    do you know what caused you to not hear?

    Mine's unknown. Nothings really pinned down as to why. Mom thinks it's either due to illness when she was sick or due to her dropping me accidentally. I don't mean her dropping me when I was being born lol! Apparently I was having a dandy of a tantrum when I was still a baby and I squirmed out...

    In regards to your mifi, when you changed the password, did you also restore to the mifi's defaults prior to changing the password?

    This is really hard on me...please help me?

    OP, I totally empathize with what you are saying. Many of us here on a daily basis are encountering what you are now experiencing. I'm sorry to say this but being direct is the only way I can say this. You are no longer in a 'sheltered' environment. You are now out in the 'real world'. It's very...

    How many deafies here know languages besides English and ASL?

    French in grades 7 and 8. Flunked the oral tests and barely passed the written portion. I simply couldn't comprehend what the teacher was saying. It was like an out of the world alien language to my poor ears! On a whim I decided to take spanish in grade 11 and surprise surprise I flunked...
