Smartest question that someone asked you?

Hear Again said:
Yes, that's correct. Tactile sign can be done in ASL, PSE and SEE. Sometimes a few signs may be altered slightly to make them easier to identify tactually.

Some of the ways I communicated with hearies include TeleBraille (Braille TTY), Screen Braille Communicator/SBC (A device that has a QWERTY keyboard on one side and a Braille/Perkins keyboard on the other. The SBC also has an LCD screen for sighted-hearing to see what is typed by the deafblind person.), print on palm/POP (Tracing block letters into the palm of the hand), Braille/raised print alphabet card (My finger is placed on each letter to spell out words), Teletouch (A device similar to the SBC except that it has a QWERTY keyboard on one side and a single Braille cell display on the other. When a key is depressed on the QWERTY keyboard, it appears on the Braille display), Braille realtime captioning (A captionist's laptop is connected to my BrailleNote -- a PDA for the blind -- I'm able to read everything that is typed by the captionist on my BrailleNote's Braille display), typing information in Notepad or Wordpad and reading this information on a Braille display and Fingerbraille (Tapping Braille characters on a person's arm, back or lap with the first 3 fingers of each hand).

ah.... fascinating thing. :ty: I suppose I would be able to communicate with you via ASL if I ever bump into you somewhere.... I'm still learning ASL slowly.... kinda hard to practice it since I don't know ASL'er in person.

You're welcome. :)

Do you have a Center for the Deaf in your area? That would be a great place to meet other deafies.

indeed... indeed.... BUT.... I do have an AD friend to practice with. My shitty webcam's putting a big damper on ASL lesson... I need to get a better one. Mine's too laggy to capture all signs. I shouldn't have skimped on cost... it was on sale. I guess I got what I paid for.

Back in Grade 8 (10 years ago :o!!), a boy asked me "How do I learn to sign so I can communicate with you?"

I was blown away, and I told him that I'd ask the HOSES about starting a weekly lunchtime signing classes at school. He said that'd be good. A week later, the signing classes started, and the boy bought all of his mates - in fact, approximately 85% of my year group came! The room was SO crowded - the HOSES had to look for a bigger room for the next classes LOL.

I've never felt so flattered in my own life. The boy turned out to be my first love - long story, but I loved him for being him, and that he was so determined to be able to communicate with me.
