What the hell? Deaf people spent their whole lives trying to suit better into hearing world. Why don't hearing people do the same for us in return?
Everytime I went out for lunch or whatever, I had no problem with anyone who was willingful enough to give me a pencil and paper. I clearly gestured to them that I CANNOT hear and speak. Why would I try to speak or hear, anyway? Now, am I supposed to go place with a paper and pen with me the entire time?
Like it or not, many people with various disabilities went to many places everyday - those places should accommodate their needs when it comes to communicating.
