ENVISION (with the "thought bubble" opening above your head)

Heh, no, I answer the phone "Hello." :) I'm sure there's more than one interpretrator out there though! As for that story, all I can say is :roll:.

I entered Zen in this pet photo contest sponsored by Bissell. You can enter a photo every week and then the next week people vote on them. Here's my girl: http://www.bissell.com/redirect.asp?page_id=47081&Pet=3538 She's in my lap right now and says thankz! :fingersx:

Amy Cohen Efron's vlogs "The Greatest Irony" address exactly this issue. I see now she's selling them instead of having them available publicly but basically the question is, if "baby sign" for hearing infants is so great, why isn't it also great for deaf babies?

Just to clarify something... What they actually wanted to do was use Ebonics or, more formally, AAVE (African-American Vernacular English, which many linguists agree is a true dialect of English) to teach English as a second language. In other worse, use the language they were using at home...

Sorry I can't agree with you there.

I saw Gestuno in use at Deaf Way II. A presentation I attended was interpreted into ASL or English (depending on the presenter) and Gestuno. It seemed to work pretty well for what it was intended for: international conferences. As someone who only knows ASL I could understand it fairly well...

You will want to look at the works of Ed Klima and Ursula Bellugi. They have done extensive research on this question. One study (or I may be conflating a couple) looked at deaf ASL-using stroke victims who had suffered motor function impairment. It was found that their sign language was not...

"Position statements" are not intended to produce solutions. They are intended to state the position of a company. Hence the terms "position statement" and not "problem-solving statement." If you'll note, the OP quotes NAD as supporting ASL but it does not say "ASL only." You're doing a...

"Unexpected." :roll: The rest of the world really needs to catch up. Good article though.

I am really sorry you're having trouble finding access and I think it's great you're getting involved yourself trying to find it (as opposed to just sitting around complaining about it); however I find this statement very hateful.

AGB and Nesmuth can never be happy unless they're complaining about something. Neither of them are plugged into Deaf culture enough to care that part of its folk history, this old joke, is being shown to millions. And AGB just isn't happy with, as has been mentioned, alllll the portrayals of...

By the way, this isn't coming out until March, actually.

I loathe the human race sometimes.

That game has been postponed so many times no one believes release dates anymore. Maybe we'll get lucky this year.
