-- coin flip: captions or interpreters
Leon County Schools in Florida has used interpreters
at their School Board meetings. Now they are
switching to captions. Which is better - interpreters
or captions? Both are better, meaning coin flip,
that everyone hates!
-- a sign language dictionary compared to another one
Comparing one sign language dictionary with another
one? The latest sign language dictionary has these
sign categories broken down into percentages:
32 percentage - every day signs
25 percentage - academic signs
20 percentage - agricultural signs
13 percentage - technical signs
10 percentage - legal signs
This dictionary in USA? No, it is in India.
-- Full length deaf films or short length deaf films
Very few full length deaf films, led by deaf actors,
not fake-deaf actors, have been produced - those come to
mind are - Love is Never Silent; And Your Name Is Jonah;
Children of a Lesser God plus some others. What about
deaf short films - too many of them! A Hollywood insider
said that the way to get deaf actors more roles is to
make more full-length movies about them!
