-- DEAF 108 in Florida
What is DEAF 108? No one knows in Lee County in Florida.
Suddenly a graffiti artist wrote "DEAF 108" at many
locations in the county. Is it deaf-related? Is it
gang-related? Or is it something else? A picture
is at:

-- ADA violation: refusing to communicate with deaf customers
Is it a violation of ADA if a business place, without
interpreters, refuses to write to the deaf customer
with a pad and pen? DeafDigest think so - ADA says
businesses are required to take whatever steps necessary
to communicate with the deaf - and that includes
pad and pen. Not every deaf person requires an
interpreter because clearly written notes will do.
-- one reason to hate the portable movie captioning devices
Do add this to the list why deaf people hate these
portable movie captioning devices:
that hearing people sit behind the deaf and look over
the deaf person's shoulder and complain that the captions
bother them!
