Can you imagine if life was reversed? It would be a deaf world and very few hearing people around. Hearing people would have to learn how to deal with the deaf...
Just like we deaf have to learn how to deal with the hearing people...
Hearing enters a resturants, tries to order but can't because hearing does not know our universal language - sign language. Has to write down on paper instead...
Or they take a class, but they have to hire an interpreter to interpret what the deaf teachers are saying...
The deaf people would look at the hearing people and look..and..stare..."wow! look! he is hearing"!
"look mom, that woman is not signing!" "Yes Virginia, that woman is hearing, don't point"...
Deaf signing to a hearing customer, "do you read signs"...
(as opposed to hearing asking a deaf, "do you read lips")
Deaf people telling each other, "that hearing signs funny".
(like hearing saying, "this deaf person talks funny")
Well, you get the idea. What a world it would be...
Better or worse?
Something to pounder about...
