You say it "gluv"
Absolutely. You can say it that way, or you can say "These dogs have gone to deaf people's homes." Either is fine.
I personally have a hearing impairment and I would prefer to be called hearing impaired. But I guess you could use the word deaf. As for capitalization it depends who you ask. Those in the deaf culture prefer to say Deaf and call their culture Deaf culture. After all, if you say someone is French or British it is capitalized. You are referring to their identity. If you just want to say someone is deaf, as in hearing loss, and without connoting a culture of signing in their own language, you could say "hard of hearing", "hearing loss", "hearing impaired", "deaf", or "oral deaf" meaning a deaf person who hears and speaks to some extent and is grounded in hearing society rather than Deaf culture.Deaf, capitalized is politicized and I personally believe it is more fit for editorials or personal views rather than for news reporting.Do you call black people "Black People"?Do you call white people "White People"?Do you call tan people "Tan People"?For more on this topic see this article:http://tomwillard.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/big-d-deaf-seems-big-headed-to-me/
To say "yay" in Deaf culture, simply raise your hands above your head and wave them.
When Elvis Presley was alive, he was not deaf at all. No that he is not a live human being, I guess it would be correct to say, yes he is now deaf.
Thomas Gallaudet traveled to Europe in search of a way to teach the deaf and mute. He was specifically attempting to learn the ways of the Braidwoods, who had been teaching the deaf in England through the use of aural-oral methods. However, the Braidwoods refused to divulge their secrets, so he went to France and there was introduced to a French monk, who had been learning a manual language from poor deaf children, and then adapting and expanding it into a viable translation of the spoken French. Gallaudet brought this idea back to the US and implemented it (along with Laurent Clerc, a deaf French man) in the American School for the Deaf.
I am deaf.You are deaf.
This isn't a question. Is it supposed to say "WHY is Tom tone deaf"?
In Latin letters: Onchi
Yes they are. Though lots will say otherwise, they are born blind and deaf
You should say "Services Interpereted for the Hearing Impaired". My name is Jennifer and I'm studying to become an ASL interpreter. For the record, Deaf people hate the term "Hearing Impaired". It's an insult. The correct way would be "Services interpreted for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing".
