DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 3, 2019
-- falling in love with a deaf baking show contestant
DeafDigest mentioned the other day that a deaf pastry
chef compted on British TV's Bake Off: The Professionals.
After his debut, he already became the "hot" celebrity
(just like our Nyle DiMarco) and already very popular
with the viewing audience!
-- interesting sign language survey
A sign language survey was taken. It said
that less than one hearing person know more
than two sign language gestures. Really?
The more DeafDigest thinks about it - many
hearing people (especially the clerks) know
the sign for the word "driver's license" while
asking for identification. And many hearing
golfers, communicating with deaf golfers,
know the gesture for golf swing. Any other
easy to understand sign-language words?
-- #1 fear of all police officers
Every time a police officer does a traffic stop,
there is always a #1 fear - that the driver does
not speak English (foreign language or ASL or
a deaf driver that does not use ASL). Regardless,
almost all such scenes end up peacefully
(no one wants a traffic ticket). A police
spokesperson said police officers need to
treat everyone the same and fairly.
