What communication method do you use? In what order?

By ASL/*SL I mean whatever branch of proper sign language your country happens to be using. Such as BSL, Australian sign language etc etc...

Alphabet based communication systems: Involve anything like fingerspelling or Deafblind manual, Braille communication devices etc etc.

I voted for written english as my prefered medium of communication which in my case includes braille. Also Alphabet based system. In my case the deafblind manual although I also use block captital letters on hand. I can speak but not lipread.

It's a little difficult to decide between ASL and typed English on Live Messenger with custom emoticons:rofl:
 
Auslan (Australian Sign Language)

Written English

Lipreading

Speech - I can do fairly a bit.
 
ASL

Written English

Spoken English
 
I think I've changed my mind. I just prefer signing above all else. And I know you'd all steamroll me over for this, but I don't care if it's ASL, PSE, or SEE. I just don't wanna read another lip as long as I live. I understand them all just as well, and maybe I'll even just pick up on signing ASL by being around it more, but I might take a class. Or a course. Whatever, until I get to the point where people won't criticise my SEE origins.
 
Speech and read lips? Forget it! It is not worth the hassle and risk of misunderstand!

I quit TTY because too many misunderstanding from Deaf friends. Nothing wrong with my English. Same applies to hearing people they sometimes can't understand my English even though I did it right.

So, Im sticking to ASL/SL all the way including at my work where all of my assoicates and EVEN my boss are Deaf and do signs. I feel like in heaven there.

3. Spoken
 
Sometimes, I chat with a loud voice and it can be disturbing :roll: the good thing, it stopped now
 
Yeah, I've been told that I can speak pretty well, but I don't believe them lol.
 
Unless you record it and hear it for yourself with HA, and you'll hate the voice of yours :P
