Comments on: “But” – My Pet Peeve http://www.deafeyeseeit.com/2008/07/02/but-my-pet-peeve/ by Amy Cohen Efron Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:53:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michael Cardosi http://www.deafeyeseeit.com/2008/07/02/but-my-pet-peeve/comment-page-1/#comment-2408 Michael Cardosi Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:39:58 +0000 http://blog.deafread.com/abcohende/2008/07/02/but-my-pet-peeve/#comment-2408 I totally agree with what Martin Bogard said and I want to add that ASL usually don't use But or And which is English influenced for polite or politically correct instead of pointing like ASL does. I know I never use but or and in ASL but I noticed that I had to use these signs with hearing people or Deaf people with strong influenced englishzed ASL. As for English speaking or written we are learned to write in English as second language. Well written English itself is vague complicated as well as ASL is simple and clear. Love the vlogs between you and Judge! :) I totally agree with what Martin Bogard said and I want to add that ASL usually don’t use But or And which is English influenced for polite or politically correct instead of pointing like ASL does.

I agree with your comment and it makes sense. I got your video message of "Pet Peeve" via one of my American friends and I perfectly understand your ASL as I live in England. There is an example, "I am deaf but I can use the normal phone with my own hearing aids". This is something I disagree with that because deaf means deaf and should not be able to hear the phone in normal way. It should be used "Hard of Hearing or even Hard of Deaf" !!! Amy, Well said!

Some people just don’t understand us deafies, like how to converse with deaf people like using paper and pen or just simply repeating what they just said. other pet peeve, on tv, we use closed caption to understand what people are saying. on tv shows, if the tv guide said that show was suppose to have or normally have closed caption, i turn on the show and theres no closed caption at all or the captioning are all messed up with wording, so i have to miss the whole program just because of that. also when u buy/rent dvd movies, it said it would have closed caption on it but when i go to watch it, there are none. sometimes when u ask someone to repeat something by voice, they either speak loudly, slowly, more quiet or babyish. we are asking them to simply repeat words not change tone of voice. other thing is, when u tell people your deaf, then they assume things like, “oh you can’t drive?” or other foolish things. I am like, hey deaf people can do everything, only thing we can’t do is hear. also i don’t like it when deaf people are called “hearing impaired”, we should just be called “deaf” or hard of hearing… My pet peeves, when someone say “sorry i’m busy” when they are not lol. when someone block traffic in hallway chatting so u can’t get through, But is one of them too it like excuses. when i am walking on the street, someone comes up, askes me a question but i did not understand what he or she said so i asked her or him to please repeat the question, they say “oh sorry” then just take off on me cuz i was deaf but i was also using my hearing aid too. also when i say ”i can’t hear” then some people say, “oh i soo sorry”.

You are mad at the world for being deaf. It shows in your attitude as you speak. Life is what you make it! Try a little less self pity! BUT, that's your choice.
