-- a nightmare for deaf trying to lipread in one nation
In one nation, deaf people have very serious problems
trying to lipread. It has nothing to do with
cigarettes in mouth or heavy mustaches or people
speaking through their teeth, people speaking
through their locked lips, etc. Why is it a
nightmare?
Take a look at the picture at:

-- CSUN makes a very surprising claim
There was a newspaper story about CSUN. It said that
CSUN has the nation's highest number of deaf and
hard of hearing students. Highest? Yes and no.
Yes, highest among state-supported colleges. No,
because CSUN deaf enrollment is much lower than
Gallaudet and NTID, both of which are not state-
supported colleges. Annually CSUN has about 225-250
deaf students.
-- a question that Codas hate
When friends of Codas learn that the parents
are deaf, they are asked many questions about
the deaf and of deafness. There is one question
that a Coda hated - and explained in a video.
The question is:
can you teach me dirty signs!
