Pek 1: You say some deaf write like they are signing. Actually that is not true or I would understand them. They do try to write english but are inept at it. Our language is very hard to learn for foreigners let alone deaf who cant hear the language. Here is an example of asl gloss which if the deaf who couldn't write proper english syntax and grammar would do, then hearies that knew asl would understand them. "suppose I finish graduate hs afterward my goal what? enter college." Hearies that know asl can read this and sign it. But some deaf don't write this way. They get there word order and word choices scrambled and it is undecipherable at times. Actually for those who don't have a good writing command of english I wish they would asl gloss it would be easier to understand them. I am not talking about people who one can understand but the writer may make grammatical mistakes now and then, I talking about people that have limited english writing skills and try to take a stab at it but come up short in being clear like that kid that kept talking about his ci's bothering him. He was very hard to understand.
