The Geico commercials are funny and these are

WHAT DO INTERPRETERS HATE?

as complained by one interpreter:

being told by a person, who knows nothing about sign

language, that I did an excellent job of interpreting

COMMENTS FROM A CART OPERATOR – continuing series

I have sometimes been asked the question, “When did captioning start

on TV?”

The captioning that we are now accustomed to on television is what is

called closed captioning. Closed captioning is not visible unless it

is turned on and a decoder is used.

There is also what is known as open captioning. This is captioning

that anyone viewing a broadcast will be able to see, and it cannot be

turned off or hidden from view.

Open captioning is rarely used on television anymore, but the first

program to be captioned was open captioned. On August 5, 1972, Julia

Child, “The French Chef,” made history when she taught viewers how to

make a chicken recipe.

This was the first time Americans could view captions on a television

show, and it was a very significant breakthrough for deaf and

hard-of-hearing television viewers.

A PET PEEVE OF BEING DEAF

always being asked –

why don’t you get a CI?

(Every deaf person, no matter if it is ASL, oral,

Cued Speech, late-deafened, hearing aid user, CI user,

etc, share these pet peeves. You may laugh or cry)

News of the Week – Looking Back 10 Years Ago:

Trouble is brewing in Nevada as far as interpreters

are concerned. State law, as challenged by state department

of education requires RID or NAD certification. The

education people want this to be watered down.

The deaf community has been alerted to it and efforts

are underway to kill the education’s proposal.

editor’s note:

pretty much sounds familiar – hint – Idaho!

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

News of the Week – Looking Back 5 Years Ago:

Members of the alumni of Clarke School for the Deaf

are upset. The school have changed its name only

that the alumni was not made aware of it.

It is now the Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech.

Not keeping the alumni informed of the name

change in advance is a big time mistake. It was

the alumni, over the years, that raised the high

profile of the school. A school, any school, is

only as good as the solid alumni base behind it.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

Deaf Apocalypse of the Week:

What does the word “able” mean? Does it mean

a person who is not physically disabled?

Are deaf people “able” or “disabled”?

There was a newspaper story, in part which said:

For many years now, Fiji’s deaf table-tennis players

had been playing with abled athletes and they had been

putting on a good performance

if a deaf table tennis player is able to compete

against top hearing players, then he is able!
