Hi Roadrunner. Don't mind if I tackle your question, even though Sugar Addict and Endymion already answered it. I may not have an in-depth understanding of how taxes operate as much as the latter does, but I can understand why higher taxes occur in bigger cities and why they are necessary...

Interpretrator and ayala920 hit it right on the nail. A native speaker of any language does not automatically qualify him to be a teacher. Most native speakers, unless they have received formal training in educational and applied linguistics, cannot make the rules of their language explicit...

I had no intentions of turning your thread into open vehemence against Microsoft. gnulinuxman was mereley stating his opinions, rather loudly if I must say, and often voices of dissent come across as strong. The benefit of an open forum is exchanging feedback and sharing opinions on products...

That's in the old times. The overwhelmingly majority of scientists now recognize the severity of global warming. If there are any skeptics, it's because they work for conservative employers and are paid to say things that contradict hard evidence.

The moment the temperature drops below 70 degrees, my body starts protesting. We don't have AC in the house. We just open our windows but leave the screened doors shut. I'm a hot-blooded creature.

It's healthy for people to have choices when it comes to operating systems. It depends on the user's needs for setting up their computing platforms. Too bad the preponderance of Microsoft Windows as a household name molds the clients' thinking to the point that they don't think about alternative...

Are you being sarcastic?

gnarlydorkette, Thank you for sharing your video with us. It's very beneficial to the entire deaf community here at AD! :)

Mr. No-Spacebar Guy, You want to invade Venezuela just because Citgo decided to stop selling gasoline to U.S. gas stations? And how will the hypothetical assassination of Hugo Chavez solve anything?

Since when did Christians have the automatic right to execute people who may or may not worship the devil? And those who practice witchcraft? Ignorance begets violence.

I'd love to see the correlation between David Hasselhoff's shaving accident and the influence of women from Baywatch. Care to expand your point, Buckdodgers?

Fifa investigates Zidane red card BC Radio Five Live asked for help from a deaf lip reader, Jessica Rees, who read the words phonetically to an Italian translator. She deciphered the insult as being "you're the son of a terrorist whore" - a translation also carried by many national...

Make friends with interpreters who share your interests! Often, my interpreter friends will give me a heads-up about interpreted film festivals, street performances and protest rallies, because they know I'll be interested in attending them. A lot of public interpreting work can be done pro...

More like Central California.

This thought has crossed my mind, but I fear that it'll backfire for two reasons. 1) The hearing child could end up resenting me so much for permanently scarring his pysche. He'll plot a murder scheme in meticulous detail and then decapitate me in my sleep. 2) I don't produce hearing...

Cued Speech are proving to be beneficial not only to the deaf and hard-of hearing, but also in helping children with Down Syndrome, autism, and other communication disorders to communicate effectively with their families and within society. This is groundbreaking news to me. I'm surprised...

It's a very unlikely possibility. Fresno and Oakland are roughly 180 miles apart. It takes at least three hours to reach Oakland from Fresno and vice versa. Oakland Raiders don't play at local community colleges. They're in the professional league along with Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh...

Can I safely assume that the semantic meaning of 'interpreters' in your post mean sign language interpreters? Or are you employing a more broad meaning to encompass all kinds of communication modes in both languages, English and ASL? me_persnickety

My heart is broken. Who knew how such one act of split-second aggression would seal a famous soccer player's fate? Only Zidane knows what was going through his mind right before he headbutted Materazzi. Only both knew what Materazzi said to Zidane that provoked him to explode. The headbutt was...

That doesn't happen too often. Not all lawsuits demand exorbitant monetary compensations for any kind of damage. Nor do they end up in ideal outcomes. Furthermore, some lawsuits fall through the cracks and the plantiffs end up losing money. But the lawyers still profit from handling the cases.
