FUNNY CAPTIONED COMMERCIALS
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!
