I kinda figure they would do that since CI came to the picture and forced insurance to cover it. It would be a sad thing IF they reject them in whole because of their deafness because some deaf who are not interested in CI really need insurance and they don't need insurance labeling deaf as...

deaf in a hearing family would not be better because you are far more likely to be left out. Then again, he felt somewhat left out because they can't hear the things he like. Such as music.

beautiful.

isn't "better not" another word for "Not a good idea"

Whatever you do, don't learn grammar from me. I'm not the best person learn from even though I grew up oral.

Just youtube it :)

I think that's how you will look at it if you don't erase English from ASL, and don't erase ASL from English.

English do use phonic to spell out words on paper but you don't need phonic in order to read English language, right? but I have seen people fingerspell in English.

yes, SEE... sorry

I understand. I've always saw it as it's own language, which is why I felt it is NOT a visual aid like PSE, or cued speech, or even morse code. I don't even think it should be universal the same without an accent. I realize that I had to erase English (first language) in order to understand ASL.

ASL is a language. Not saying it is in it's own language, it is still based on English as far as written form.

Just remember, ASL is a expressing/communicating thoughts with others. Not a universal visual aid for spoken English... like a Morse code or something.

That would be a political correct/neutral feeling form of Amen. In spoken English: I have heard people say amen in a most dull way. and I have heard people say it with a spirit.

did you lose your class? LOL (remembering your post about a truck with balls) Just teasing with ya.

No it should because the culture they are surrounded in. People see things differently in the south than they do in the north... Or like amen in sign language. Catholic's amen is different from protestant's amen because the way they view the meaning of amen spiritually-wise.

oh, I think some people prefer their given name because they feel old if they were called mom or dad. Or they think it would embarrass their child if everyone knew that's his parents. I'm sure there are other reasons, but I think those would be the main two reasons because my grandma did not...

our kid call us mom and dad. When he was a toddler, it used to be mama and dada, then as he grew older, it was mommy and daddy. It was so cute. mummy reminds me of Egyptian mummy. I could never figure out why some kids all their mother, mummy. Nor why aunt is pronounced as Ant instead of AUnt.

get 100 cute puppies licking your face to wake you up? ahhh, nothing like puppy breath.

I can too.

kinda like southern accent (plus some slang - like yonder) here, Northern accent there, etc.
