— subtitled film bloopers

Subtitled movies is different from captioned
movies, yet it was reported in a newspaper
of these subtitled bloopers – such as
hoards instead of hordes and Van Dyke
instead of Van Dyck. This is strange
because subitling follows thes script
and is planned in advance, so different
from real time news!

— the facemask and the ADA

What happens if a deaf person, without a facemask,
enters Albertson supermarket, saying that ADA allows
them not to wear it (lip reading and facial expressions)?
ADA experts say Albertson has the right to refuse
them entrance – because of public safety. ADA’s title 3
says public health is more important than accomodating
a deaf person without a face mask.

— five actors, five missing senses

The Sci-Fi Adventure Film ‘Making Sense’ involves five
different actors, each with a missing sense – sight,
hearing, taste, touch and smell. The one without
hearing (deaf) is Taylor Gonzalez, who is a new
deaf actress.

— honoring our TV captions hero

Ask any deaf leader nowadays this question:

Who was Julius Barnathan?

Chances are high that no one has ever heard of
Julius Barnathan, even among deaf leaders in the
telecommunications field. He was not deaf, but
had the final say, during the late seventies,
on whether the TV programs on his ABC network
be captioned or not. It is a long story, but to
make it short, Mac Norwood, a deaf high level
administrator in federal government, was friends
with Julius Barnathan, and spent so many, many
hours trying to convince him on the importance
of TV captions. Barnathan, a top ABC engineer,
finally agreed to captions. Barnathan’s decision
forced the neutral NBC and the anti-captions
CBS to caption their programs. A story surfaced
about Barnathan yesterday at:

https://www.sportsvideo.org/2020/05/26/legends-behind-the-lens-julius-barnathan/

It is fun reading. Both Barnathan and
Norwood are deceased.

— a deaf school looking for a facemask option

No one likes the regular face mask. No one likes
the see-through mask because it sort of prevents
clear understanding of voice speech. A deaf CEO
of a deaf school is now on the search for a
better mask. He has been asking around, and
while he has not found anything satisfactory,
it still does not stop him from finding a
better solution. DeafDigest hopes the deaf
school will succeed, because the Deaf Community
will benefit greatly from it.

— more on The Congressional Deaf Caucus

DeafDigest mentioned a while ago about knowing
nothing about the Congressional Deaf Caucus.
It was learned that:

#1 – it was founded in 2013
#2 – most representatives are alumni members of Deaf Schools
#3 – original goal was to encourage members of congress to hire the deaf
#4 – Facebook likes on one posting was low
#5 – much attention was given to the ASL store at DC Starbucks
#6 – one co-chair is a Democrat, other co-chair is a Republican

Congressional Deaf Caucus helping the deaf in the long
run? Hope so, inasmuch as Democrats have always agreed
to disagree with the Republicans and vice versa.

DeafDigest thanks Howard Gorrell, who is deaf but
extremely knowledgeable on how politics work on the
Hill, for the above updates.

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition – May 27, 2020

— a reason learning ASL is difficult

There is a reason learning ASL is difficult.
In a newspaper interview, an interpreter said
that if one wants to learn Spanish, he can
go to Spain, but to learn ASL there is no
all-deaf ASL-signing nation.

That interpreter is correct.

— first time together for deaf and hearing

Many hearing employers have never met a deaf
person in their lives before hiring them.
And quite a few deaf people have never had
jobs in the past before being hired.
For both of them, it is a shared experience
to work together at a work place!

— Deaf agency happy with a TV episode of late-deaf character

DeafDigest has mentioned a couple of times about the
Ben Mitchell’s late-deafness character in British’s
widely popular EastEnders TV series. It was reported
that the producers asked The National Deaf Children’s
Society for advice to make the plot more realistic.
And that the deaf agency was happy the producers
listened to them. Could this happen to one of our
American TV producers, asking a deaf agency for
advice about deaf plots? Probably yes, probably no!

— a prison for the deaf

Could there be a prison, solely for deaf inmates,
which would be deaf-friendly? A hearing prisoner,
whose brother is deaf, is trying to make the
San Quentin prison (California) deaf friendly.
He has filed a lawsuit, hoping to force the
state to convert a prison wing to a deaf wing.
There are fears it is not going to happen.

— a county tells deaf people not to buy masks that hide mouths

The Kittitas County (Washington) government has told
the deaf that they should not buy these masks that hide
their mouths. It did not say if deaf people should
buy see-through masks.

— a Cuban doctor couldn’t believe a deaf girl can ride a bicycle

Cuba, not a wealthy nation, has produced many physicians
as the nation believes in free access to medical care.
Anyway one of the doctors, upon being told that a deaf
girl rides a bicycle every day, just couldn’t believe it.
He felt the deaf cannot ride bicycles!

— eBay hands off during deaf seller disputes

A deaf eBay participant got into a dispute with
a buyer and asked the email contact person
for assistance. Instead of responding by email,
the contact person asked the deaf person to make
a voice call. It proved to be impossible for
the deaf seller; as a result the seller plans
to drop out of eBay.

— captions must go through five different tests

When there is a new app that has captions, then it
must be tested five times – desktop, laptop, Android,
iPhone and iPad just to make sure it works. Exhausting?
Yes, but necessary.

— interpreter praised as the fastest signer

A newspaper headline praised an interpreter
for being the fastest signer. Not sure why
is this a praise – if an interpreter signs at
a blazing speed then deaf people
may be not able to understand it!

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition – May 22, 2020

— disagreement over tech word signs

Zoom, Object-oriented programming, Back End,
Development Operations, etc. These are few of
the tech words many of us don’t understand but
engineers and programmers do. And there
is much disagreement among the interpreters
and even of the deaf high-tech people
on the appropriate signs for these words!

— Face mask vs supermarket check out cashier

There was a sign at the check out counter that
said to wait until you are asked to check out.
Who really reads that sign? Anyway a deaf shopper
started placing her stuff on the check out counter
until the casher told her to stop – saying something
behind the Face Mask. The casher wanted to wipe
clean the check out table first, and had to
gesture several times until the deaf shopper
realized what she was trying to say. Always
an embarrassing Face Mask incident every day at
every store and take out restaurants!

— deaf business success, family failure

This is always a sad story that family members
feel the deaf cannot succeed. A deaf engineer
with a MBA worked for a family-owned construction
company. His work helped make the struggling
business become profitable. Did the family
members thank him? No! Not really surprising,
but sad.

— at least $50,000 to make ADA people happy

ADA requires all web sites to be deaf-accessible
(captions and/or ASL). For years and years ADA
people did not enforce the captions/ASL needs.
Then two years ago the ADA people woke up.
As a result, small business owners that ignore
captions and/or ASL will be fined $50,000
and up – just to comply with the ADA rules!
Sad to say, for huge corporations, $50,000 is
just pennies to them!

— best way to make hearing neighbors love the deaf!

A deaf man was a handyman; he could fix anything
from lawn movers to leaky kitchen faucets. Hearing
neighbors that do not know how to use a hammer,
asked him for help. He never said no; as a result
he was much loved in the neighborhood! He was
always invited to private neighborhood parties
even though they couldn’t communicate with him.

— the ASL hobby

ASL as a hobby? Well, there have been many stories
in newspapers of bored hearing people, stuck at
home because of the Pandemic. They “learn” ASL
online and they love ASL because it seems so
easy. The sad thing is that when they come to
a deaf person they do not understand the ASL
that the deaf responds!

— Hearing Lobbying; Deaf Lobbying

A group of top collegiate football teams spent $350,000 so far
in 2020 on lobbying costs in hoping to convince the members of
the Congress to support their football needs. Deaf groups certainly
cannot afford $350,000. Deaf groups can advocate, but cannot
lobby. A deaf organization hired a lobbyist years ago to
advocate (but not to lobby). Did it help? No.

— two grocery store face-mask incidents

DeafDigest editor went to two different grocery
stores yesterday. First one offered free parking
but must validate the parking ticket first. The
machine did not function, and so, a nearby clerk
(with facemask) was asked to help. The clerk
checked the machine and said (behind the facemask)
that all was OK. Upon being told of deafness,
the clerk immediately gestured thumbs up. Whew!

A purchase was made at the second grocery store;
the first clerk took the card to a machine. Almost
immediately the second clerk was asked to collect
the goods and gave the bag to the editor. It
was sort of confusing, leading the editor to think
a wrong bag (of different products) was given him.
Actually they were communicating with each other
(behind the masks). The first clerk was forced to
open up the bag to show the editor that these were
exactly what he ordered! All they had was to gesture
and they didn’t.

— the deaf and the chess

Do deaf people play chess? Yes, even though it is not
as popular in USA as it is elsewhere in the world.
Speed chess? Blitz chess? Slow chess? Yes, deaf people
play in all types of chess. It was mentioned in a
newspaper story today that a deaf woman did very well
in the World Deaf Blitz Chess Championship? Blitz?
Dunno what exactly it is as it is different from
Speed!

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition – May 19, 2020

— the TV talk show host is deaf

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard is deaf and she has
worked as a TV talk show host – discussing
many topics and issues with her guests.
Which TV program in USA? Sorry, it is a
program aired in Great Britain. Can happen
in Great Britain but not in USA! She functions
as a hearing person, voice and without an
interpreter despite her profound-deafness.

— these hated up and down wi-fi issues

Deaf people stay at home and use the wi-fi
to stay connected to the hearing world – and
when wi-fi goes up and down, as it often does,
then it becomes very frustrating. Never easy
to ask the hearing world for wi-fi assistance.
DeafDigest prays Covid-19 will go away for good!

— using social media instead of using interpreters

Many deaf people don’t use sign language, and so,
interpreters are useless. And some TV networks
blur out the faces of interpreters for reasons
we do not understand, nor accept. And when these
programs are not captioned, it forces the deaf
people to go to social media to try to figure out
what the TV programs won’t tell us!

— “ADA” all over the world

USA has one of the world’s strongest ADA laws. What
about other nations? The Disability Rights Education
and Defense Fund said that exactly 181 nations have
their own “ADA” laws. Keep in mind some of these
laws are strong, and some are just a joke!

— probably will not happen in USA

DeafDigest has mentioned that character Ben Mitchell
has become late-deafened because of an accident in
an EastEnders boating scene. The British producers
have worked with a deaf agency to introduce things
in the upcoming programs that deaf people know, that
hearing people do not realize – sign language, captions,
interpreters, flashing signalers, deaf-friendly stores,
anti-deaf hearing attitudes, etc. Can only happen in Great
Britain TV, but probably never in USA TV!

— the hated parking lot sign

Deaf people use the relay or on-line to order food
from a supermarket for their curbside pick ups.
And when deaf people arrive at the parking lot
there is a sign that says:

CALL US WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON OUR 800 NUMBER

Bad enough when Covid-19 forces the deaf to use
unlipreadable masks let alone forcing them to
re-confirm 2 or 3 times after getting the first
confirmation of their supermarket order!

— our Bobblehead terps

Is it a trend? To date, we have seen two
terps honored with their own Bobbleheads.
It was different years ago, our terps would
come home, satisfied from a good day with
their interpreting assignments!

— no online theater for the deaf

Many deaf people love going to the theater
(both hearing and deaf theatrical plays).
Because of the Pandemic, a number of theaters
have moved their plays online. Captions for
the deaf? Deaf West Theatre artistic director
David Kurs said less than 15 percent of
these online plays are captioned. It is not
fair that sports programs online are captioned
for deaf people that love sports, but plays
are not captioned for deaf people that love
the theater!

— The Clear Mask and the FDA

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not
approve the Clear Mask (that the deaf people love)
for public use. FDA actually approves Clear Mask
for one-time surgical room operations, but not for
public use. Why? Ask the FDA!

— deaf people wanting to buy houses

A real estate advisor said that deaf people that
want to buy houses need to use the services
of a deaf realtor or ASL-fluent realtor.
True – but not every major city has a
deaf realtor or ASL-fluent realtor!

— suggested reading for the deaf, books on body language

To avoid boredom during the Pandemic quarantine, there
was a suggestion – read books on body language so that
deaf people would know which hearing people discriminate
against them. Some hearing people may not say a word but
their anti-deaf body language may speak volumes!

— hearing afraid of deaf drivers

Are hearing drivers afraid of deaf drivers?
There was a story in a newspaper in the
Philippines about hearing drivers being
afraid of deaf drivers! They see the “DEAF”
word on their license plants and know the
driver is deaf. As a result, they drive
away from the deaf, even if it means
high speed on the highways just to
avoid the deaf. It is hard to believe.

— must cast a deaf actress or else

Do directors tell their studios that they
must cast deaf actresses or else? This
was what John Krasinski, the director
of the movie – A Quiet Place – told them.
That was the reason why Millicent Simmonds,
a deaf actress, was cast! It didn’t matter
to Krasinski that he knew nothing about
the deaf or of Deaf Culture or of deafness.
He just want her cast. How many Hollywood
directors have the courage that Krasinski
had? Maybe practically none.

— patience, patience and patience says the Deaf Triplets

Deaf Kuhn Triplets (Chris, Craig and Curt), all employed
at Illinois School for the Deaf, were interviewed in a
newspaper story. They agreed on one thing – patience,
patience and patience when trying to communicate with the
hearing while wearing these face masks. Ain’t easy,
they all said. Yes, it is the same Kuhn triplets that
graduated from Gallaudet and played baseball and
football together. They were one of the nation’s
most publicized collegiate baseball players, hitting
quite a few media outlets during their time years back.

— the hearing foreman and the deaf employees

There was an obit in one of today’s newspapers
about a long time foreman in a factory
tht employed the deaf. It said he learned
signs to communicate with them and they all
became friends. DeafDigest editor has a
question, never mind sign language and
friendships – did the foreman promote
the deaf to better factory positions or
gave them pay raises? No one likes to
work at dead-end, low pay jobs, be it
in the factory or in the office.

One of the owners is Sandra Allen. She

There was a newspaper story about deaf people upset that
they are not asked for input when there are issues regarding
interpreting matters and concerns. Said a deaf activist:

we feel invisible

— human captioning and AI captioning

Ai-Media, from Australia, announced it has
purchased Alternative Communications Services,
an American captioning service. In their
press release, Ai-Media said it combines
human intelligence with artificial intelligence
to provide highly accurate, low-cost captions.
Really? Time will tell. What will Ai-Media
say if we catch some of their captioning
bloopers? Expensive captions means no
bloopers. Inexpensive captions means bloopers.

— cleaning up a small town drain

A small town cleaned up its drain; a lot of junk
was pulled up and thrown out. One of the stuff
in the drain was a hearing aid. Either a hearing
aid user accidentally pushed it into the drain
or was thrown in on purpose. Throwing away
a hearing aid that costs a few thousand dollars!

— comment by a deaf activist

A deaf activist was quoted as saying:

My deafness does not isolate me. People isolate me.

— a reason for “deaf” in computer system

South Carolina has a new law, that allows the deaf
to tell the state of their deafness. The word “deaf”
will be entered into the system. During traffic
stops, police officers would then know driver is
deaf – and therefore no unpleasant surprises.
This is important. DeafDigest editor was stopped
by police in Washington, DC. The police officer
did not know the driver was deaf, and panicked,
calling 4 or 5 police cars as back ups! This was
a humiliating situation. Making things worse, the
police officer never asked for an interpreter.
That was why the DC government quickly threw out the
traffic ticket.

A start-up company is coming up with a flashing
garbage disposal unit (under sink). The inventor
said it would help the deaf know that the
disposal unit is working. Do we need the flashing

— cannot come to work for a reason

A deaf man, employed by Home Depot, has been
out of work for almost two months. He is

It is heartbreaking.

porch. The money goes to the essential workers and

— sign language: verbal or non-verbal

Is there a difference between a verbal
sign language and a non-verbal sign
language? A newspaper interview touched
on this subject. Verbal sign language
is ASL. Non-verbal sign language
is not ASL but contains signs that
everyone understands – thumbs up;
OK; thumbs down, etc. Is it same as
Gesture Sign Language? Something for
linguists to get into a hot debate
over this issue!

— a message on a Deaf Mask

A deaf employee at a work place was
required to wear a mask. This led to serious
communication problems. To solve this
problem, he wrote on the mask:

I am deaf. I read lips. I know sign
language. I can write notes with you.

Presto, problem solved!

A deaf person that belongs to several deaf
clubs said that no two deaf clubs are the

games, whereas in another club, the
members want to discuss politics
(both deaf politics and hearing politics).

see-thru masks; again, there are some
interpreters that wear no masks.
Not sure if see-thru masks is a perfect
idea – but deaf people all hate masked
interpreters!

— tired of Zoom

Deaf people have been using Zoom during Covid-19
lockdowns. Already there are tales of people
getting tired of Zoom – hard to lipread; hard to
catch rapid signing-ASL; up and down connections, etc.
If Zoom is not the best then what is the best?

There was a story of a hospital operating
room accidentally leaving stuff inside
the patient – such as sponnges, drain tubes,
and even CI! And in these cases some of the
lost stuff were not found until at least
six months later. The CI is a mystery –
because if a deaf patient discovers,
after the operation that his CI is
missing, then the doctors and nurses
would be alerted to it?

A deaf man worked all his life as a rig
driller (of oil fields). Since he couldn’t
hear, he relied on his tricks – feeling
the vibrations to know what to do

careful – a vibration error would have
led to an oil field disaster. But it
never happened to him and he worked

— the always colorful Richard Coppola

Richard Coppola departed us; he was a legend
as a Gallaudet student during the early sixties.
After graduating he settled in Philadelphia,
raising a family while pulling down a full time
job. His #1 idol was Elvis Presley; his daughter
Marie is a well-known linguist at University of
Connecticut; his home living room had 4 TV’s
even during the days of no captions; he would be
reading the newspaper while at the same time
scanning all these TV sets; took his family on
a 42-day, 48 states vacation trip enroute to
1985 Deaflympics in Los Angeles, the car totaling
13,760 miles in all; he would watch 3 or 4
captioned films per week. Could any other
deaf person top his act? Probably not!

— deaf schools as recommended tourist sites

Tourists love to travel and to tour, but would
they normally tour schools for the deaf? No –
but during the mid-1850’s,  recommended
tourist sites were institutions for the deaf.
Deaf students more interesting for tourists
as opposed to hearing students? Dunno, but
the Pamplin Historical Park, Petersburg, VA
Park, has these 1850’s travel tourist guides!

— oops, wrong use of sign language

Those that watched the The Walking Dead zombie
movie, said that in one scene, hearing character
(Kelly) used a sign language gesture that
was all wrong! Movie directors must blame someone
for the wrong sign gesture – and they blamed
Covid-19 for the production crew staying home

same movie that deaf actress Lauren Ridloff
played the Connie role.

It was mentioned in a newspaper today that

CEO. One of the accusations was that he
helped cheat the deaf relay service of its
funds. For that reason AT&T was fined
$18.6 million.
