The most polite way is to communicate using sign language, because bothe the hearing people and deaf people can see and it is the best way for both to benefit. If people try to talk to deaf people when they know they're deaf, this is extremely rude.

When deaf people sign to each other they change the way they sign when they are around hearing people why?

Deaf people don't necessarily change the way they sign around hearing people. Most ASL signers don't need to adjust how they communicate simply because they're around hearing people. Since hearing people are the majority, it would be inconvenient to adjust conversation every time they were in a public place, etc. If a deaf person does change the way they sign around hearing people versus being surrounded by deaf people, it may be because hearing people frequently watch signers. It can be uncomfortable to be watched by everyone around you. They may use less of their signing space than if they were at home or surrounded by other deaf people, which is the sign language equivalent to 'whispering' or speaking quietly.


What are the characteristics of verbal communication?

Verbal communication is when people speak to one another.

Are deaf people more alert?

Think about it this way. When you are in darkness(like at night) do you use hearing to help you know where you are going? People who have lost their sight-they will not see with their eyes, they will see what is around them with using touch or hearing. Their hearing will compensate for what they cannot see.


How many deaf people in the UK use BSL as their preferred means of communication?

It looks as if 50,000 people use British Sign Language as their first language or preferred means of communication. There isn't a definitive number of *deaf* people that do so, but we can use the population of the UK and the number of deaf people, in total, in the UK, to estimate. Current population of the UK: 60,776,238 as of July 2007 (estimate only). There are 8,945,000 deaf and hard of hearing people. Dividing that by the current UK population gives us: 15 percent of the population of the UK are deaf or hard of hearing. Now, 50,000 * 15% = 7,500 people in the UK who use British Sign Language as their first language/preferred means of communication are deaf. No Its like 8,998,107
