DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, April 21, 2015
-- to hate or to love Comcast
Many people hate Comcast, this huge cable,
telephone and internet provider. But does
Comcast love us? Comcast announced the
formation of a customer support group
that will deal with the needs and concerns
of the deaf! This a pleasant surprise?
-- a comment by an actress
Grace Gealey is an actress with the daytime
soap opera program - The Doctors. She said that
hearing people treat the deaf like 3 year
old kids. How does she know? She is a Coda
and has always felt bad how her deaf parents
have been treated badly by the hearing all
their lives!
-- English in Europe
DeafDigest editor traveling through the Netherlands,
Luxembourg and Belgium this week. Something
interesting about the hearing tourists. Two tourists
may be speaking to each other; one is Dutch and the
other Swede, but when they realize they cannot
understand each other's language, they immediately
switch to a third language - English. Hearing
people can do that but the deaf cannot switch to
ASL if they don't understand each other's sign
language!
