I think about that all the time...my boyfriend is Deaf and since his high school was not accredited, he has had to get his GED though the 'graduated' from high school...his challenge while trying to pass the GED is the English part, I can't imagine how a person leans English without hearing it, he writes well but he does not use perfect grammar, it annoys me that this is the only thing keeping him from passing the GED...when you said how tedious glossing is, I thought about having to write English while Deaf has to be just as, if not more tedious for him.
