I am actually , newly (?) partially deaf as I suffer from loud tinnitus that is continuous, vertigo and partial hearing loss. So I had developed a character that uses sign language as he talks.I find this odd. Why would you dispute another member's deafness? I hadn't realised your drawing was a sign until he/she commented but now I recognise it: 'I love you'?
I'm a casual BSL user myself, although primarily oral. Severely-profoundly deaf from birth although as I say I can and do sign. Amused at the number of deafies on this board; on most other forums I've been on I'm the only one!
Apologies for going off-thread! Still watching this to see the latest drawings and increasingly excited about getting my own iPP in the spring... (please, Apple).
I would love to learn ASL and such...
cheers,
Gryphon
