- HELLO.
-
- I am new to the BBS systems. I am a 29 year old womyn. I am hearing and
- live in Toronto, Canada.
-
- I first saw signing at the Michigan Women's Music Festival in 1988 and
- decided to take some night courses in ASL at Sheridan College
- Brampton, to learn how to communicate. It has been a few years
- since I took those courses and I am now a bit rusty at signing.
-
- A man approached me in a bar last week and offered me a card. The card
- introduced him as a deaf person and he sold these cards for a living and
- that he was asking for contributions. How do you feel about that?
-
- Also, I wonder about the difference between verbal(?) english and ASL
- english as mentioned in the "help with signing" messages. Would it
- be better if I wrote messages in verbal (?) english or in my guess at
- ASL english? Does that make sense?
-
- No offense meant if i put my foot in my mouth. As I said, I'm new at
- this.
-
- Gladie.
