i didn't say that would happen, i said that Deaf people are afraid it will happen.

welcome to political correctness in sign language, us hearing have had to deal with it for years.

i know a few quirks in sign, not really sure they are puns..... do the sign for stand, upsidedown. a v handshape under horizontal b. means "understand" do the sign for "hop", with I handshape. means ihop(international house of pancakes) left hand "u" shape, right hand "d" shape...

how does that comment compare with yours? even you using that comment out of context like you did, its still not attacking this girl personally. shes not acting in the show. my glass house seems pretty safe.

this is a high school kid we are talking about, not an adult. to come on here and ask for help and hear these kinds of replies is very discouraging. i came on here and said a few things, and your guys replies made me stay away from this particular forum for quite a while. you guys can be...

my high school did grease one year...i was only a few scenes and not the whole show....so maybe this is the same thing? my point being, she came here for help. with or without your help she is going to be doing it for her senior project. you claim you want to make it suck less, then help...

they are also afraid that deaf people will prefer hearing world over the deaf and then deaf culture would shrink or disappear.

heh sorry, didnt mean it to come off that way.

you terps on this forum really know how to run people off. instead of criticizing her and making assumptions about her skill level, how about just answering her questions? she doesn't need you guys to tell her she cant do it, she needs you to help her in the areas she is not strong in...

i actually took the article to mean the exact opposite. the fact that they protested when they tried to put in a president that wasn't deaf enough means that the school(students) are not open to diffderent views, same as a religious school isn't open to different views, therefore is not accredited.

i don't understand why you guys feel threatened by my comments.....im sorry if you spent alot of money on your education and feel you deserve more. i didn't just fall off the turnip truck and wake up one day decide i wanna terp and go out there, and i resent the fact you guys somehow think i...

ok, you got me......

well, when you put it like that..... as i said before, years signing is not indicative of skill level.

1.Im not a professional interpreter per say, i freelance. all you staff terps are foaming at the mouth now eh? lol 2. its hard, some things just dont interpret. 3. my length of signing is not indicative of my skill, but 2.5 years. as for the initial question, why? i dont like terping...

my gf parents force her to sit in church without a terp.i went with them last time we visited, and terped for her. i did fine, but since im not a curch goer, i wasn't privy to church specific signs.....still was alot better for her than having to stare at her feet all day.

southern is right....i knew something was wrong. i've used stupidest myself...."she's the stupidest person i know"....the most stupidest threw me off..anyway heh. to answer southerns question, there is different ways....dependsing on that wonderful word we see alot in this forum, context...

not to criticize your sign, just an observation. i could be wrong, but i dont think dominant hand can be under the recessive hand....i did your sign as im sitting here and it felt funky, couldn't figure out why then that dawned on me. im sitting here trying to think of a sign where the...

for Blouse? Sandals? Asian? blouse is same as shirt, no need for the distinction. sandals....depends on the type. flip flops= left hand flat, palm down, tips out right index finger pointing down goes between index and middle finger of left hand. birkenstocks=left hand flat, palm...

not-for-profit doesn't mean they do and get everything free. they have an operating budget, and while it can be substantially lower than a for-profit buisness, its an operating budget none the less. and the people who run the budget need to factor in interpreters.

alot of people dont understand how much a hearing persons life is changed when they decide to spend thier life with a deaf partner. if an interpreter doesn't show up to an event, my gf is not the only one who cant enjoy the show, i can't either. if we take a tour, and there is no...
