I've been reading the big long threads about annoying hearies and deaf culture do's and don'ts and then found this while doing my research for my ASL 101 class project.
This is Job Accommodations Network on employees with hearing loss (their words, not mine)
http://askjan.org/media/Hearing.html
(bolding mine)
Could the bolded part explain some hearies "can you read and write?" I don't know, but the assumption in that part annoys me for some reason. I understand that many deaf have poor English skills, but poor is different than none, which is what I read in the bolded section.
And I've read my post a couple times and don't think what I'm trying to say is really coming across, dang it.
