I believe what she was trying to say is that ASL expo is all about the language itself, not deaf, hearing, hearing aids, and cochlear implants. Sure, ASL is a part of the deaf culture, but that's not all what it is about. ASL also apply to everyone, including hearing people to participating in signing ASL for pleasure and education. Um...but I don't get it. Text messaging? You cannot sign ASL over text messaging. Maybe it doesn't belong to the ASL expo? Unless it has a camera such as videophone. In the future, if the phone contains a small screen, how do you sign it while holding the phone at the same time? Maybe it may work if you sign with one hand? It seems cool. Don't get me wrong..! I am just wondering about that. That's all.
