I love your thinking and what you do for your son! Perfect! I only wish more and more parents would do the same! My hubby and I are Deaf with 2 CODAs. =) We both come from a strong Deaf background so it's heartwarming to read your blog. Your son is lucky to have wonderful, open minded parents! =) You definitely know your stuff! The way you explained why you write some things in ASL is right on the dot! =) I envy you all for being at the Expo! Enjoy all u can! =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-40021476619484348652010-07-22T17:57:49.969-07:002010-07-22T17:57:49.969-07:00Hey cheers!

If I we...Oh sure, yes that is again a deaf thing.<br /><br /> If I were to translate, "Excuse me, do you know where we need to go to register for DeafNation?" we would not express the culture of the phrase. The important message is my family was at home in the Deaf culture of the event.<br /><br />I know that troubles folks but agian my audience is Deaf and a twelve year old Deaf child. We communicate in a visual way that we understand and can see in print even when others don't.haddy2dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034188486446894352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-69920775662722539652010-07-22T17:23:47.183-07:002010-07-22T17:23:47.183-07:00just wanted to make sure you know that I was refer...just wanted to make sure you know that I was referring to "Expo where go?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-44087071855987162722010-07-22T17:04:52.768-07:002010-07-22T17:04:52.768-07:00Huh, well I write in written ASL because it better...Huh, well I write in written ASL because it better conveys my meaning. Folks who know me and read my blog get it. They can fill in the classifiers and facial grammer. English does not convey meaning the same way. I don't write for a large audience, I write fo my son and his community. If a deaf person, fleunt in ASL, is confused I am happy to clarify. The rules of translation don't apply here. The gift of community does.<br /><br />As for my son wanting to take over, I am fluent but he is native. He was in his world and wanted to feel the joy of that. My writing is confusing to many, I apologize. The only way to get me is to start at the beginning of my blog.<br /><br />Thanks so much fo the comment!<br />Warmest<br />Melhaddy2dogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034188486446894352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-84417056987344429982010-07-22T16:45:03.197-07:002010-07-22T16:45:03.197-07:00aww, your son should not limit you (as in, he shou...aww, your son should not limit you (as in, he should let you do signing so you can be fluent) :P <br /><br />Why do you Write in ASL in written English? You should interpret ASL in English. I've never seen people write French language order in English.. yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
