yes,
two things...
1)if you have no HA and they DONT know you at all in supermarket , say you bumped them and carry on like a tiny innocent accident you wouldnt hear "bitch" called out ...so indeed it take a while (maybe never for the hearies to find out you're deaf or Deaf (doesnt matter hearies dont know difference)
2) why is it that you say ASL user ?? I guess its silly to say ASL speaker or speak ASL...but USE? i mean thats abit like the language is 'seen as a tool, not as a Language"...so I reckon something else is better say ...
ASL signer??! I sign ASL...i dunno just it's 'food for thoughts'??
cheers!
