Not only do we own this land but we are also being discriminating against. I like lite beer when watching football it is dope so,,

I went ahead and proofread his post. I hope it's not illegal because I've never done this before.

you sure were getting whiter kiwehnzii maybe another shade might be apt.

For being deaf I admire a person for trying his best to become heard. I apologize if my interpretation might have been wrong but I also tried my best with what I was given.

Blackbear · 01-22-2004, 08:26 PM

LOL actually I think you got what he was trying to say except for the lite beer part (pretty sure that's litefoot)

Also I'm guessing the wrong button was pushed starting a new thread when I'm guessing he's trying to reply in the rap and hip hop thread.

What????? Quicksilverwade thank you for the translation, I know it must've taken you a while to try to decipher what he was attempting to saying. Poor unfortunate soul. lol It was somewhat like trying to understand what a person under the influence of alcohol or a drug of somewhat is trying to say. I'm not sure what to think of that. Should we even keep on replying to this post?

A little off subject but...

I was an Interpeter in my church for a Deaf congregation for three years. In the United States (maybe Canada), the most widely used form of sign language is called ASL, or American Sign Language.

When translating English or another language into ASL, you do not translate literally, or word for word. In ASL you try to convey a thought, or a meaning as opposed to an entire sentence or message.

For example, if I were to interpet (in the deaf communitity it is called Interpeting and not Translating) the sentence....

"I went to the store and bought some candy."

In ASL it would be signed/interpeted like this

"Go to store, Candy I bought and ate."

If I remember correctly future, present, and past tenses are more or less understood by the interpeter and the one recieving the sign.

If anyone has read any deaf literature you will see that it is completely different. Why? Because deaf who are brought up with ASL are taught to read ASL. Reading English is very, very, very difficult for them. Almost like reading a foreign language.

I gave up ASL and interpeting because I was forced into it, and I hated my time in the deaf congregation. But being in that enviornment for three years you pick up a thing or two. I was supposed to be NAD-RID certified, but I rebelled against my folk and refused to do it. I would have made some big money too.

Now I've been away for that 5 years, and I've all but forgotten much of it...

well you will be glad you have that skill the moment you need to use it for the profession you have now.. unless that's already happened. I've wanted to learn myself cause so many of the clients in the company I work for are deaf... whole department just for them.

Of course we should keep on replying. Consider it an open forum for anything that comes across our minds once we decipher the gibberish. I like the way this thread has been about the deaf, very noble.

I've come across the deaf several times in my line of work. More so with EMS than Fire. It becomes awkward when you get them to the hospital and there is no interpeter. I can't stay because I have to write my report and get back to running calls...

However, not every deaf individual knows sign language or ASL. Many times I've run across people who have a "home grown" version of sign language. Then there is English Sign Language where every word is more or less signed out. Fortunately, finger spelling is pretty universal, so you learn how to finger spell very, very, very quickly.

The last time i've had to use it... I was really rusty. You forget it if u never use it...
