Why is it politically correct to use a capital d when referring to deaf people?

Why do deaf people sign if they can speak vocally?

Being able to speak vocally works OK when a deaf person is speaking TO a hearing person but when both people are deaf neither can hear what the other person is saying. Signing therefore enables communication between deaf people and would be a better way for a hearing person to say something TO a deaf person. If you can hear why don't you learn how to sign!


What language do deaf people think in?

What do you think being deaf is like?

Quiet. Probably annoying, since most people unless they're deaf, or are close to someone deaf, don't know your language. But probably also nice, since deaf communities are closely knit.
