Why do some TV broadcasts show a person translating it to sign language instead of using subtitles?
  • Think about written English: it's phonetic.

    How do you learn to RECOGNIZE A WRITTEN WORD when you don't know what it sounds like, let alone what the letters mean. Or becomes a matter of a hundred thousand different symbols, recognized as a unit, removed from the auditory context.

    I can't imagine how any deaf person learns to read, to be honest . It's an astounding feat.
