Thanks for your blunt answer. I understand it better but it doesn't make me feel better. Could you answer one more question? What is the hearing people's hang-up about sign language? It would be nice if everybody know sign language (like Martha's Vineyard back then) so I don't have to use my voice. It is lot easier for hearing people to learn sign language than deaf people learning to speak. Deaf people solved the deafness problem by signing so it is 100% effective. It really amazed me to see that the pro-oralists discarded sign language and replaced it with oral method which is far less than 100% effective. That is really chutzpah! I can see why there was debates on hearing aids and cochelar implants when they came out. They are just the tools of pro-oralists. I don't feel that the hearing society accept me as part of them eventhough I could speak. (somebody would have to tell me how my voice is. Once I was told that I slurred my speech.) I am really jaded by all this.

I haven't seen the nose twitch in a long long time. Forgot all about that until you mentioned it.
