Not to threadjack, but I volunteer on weekends to prepare tax returns for low-income individuals. Last weekend I prepared tax returns for the hearing impaired and many of our customers had interpreters. Anyways, one of the interpreters told me that, for many deaf persons, English is a second language. I told him that I thought deaf persons learned English as their primary language and sign is simply the means of communicating that language. The interpreter laughed at me like I was an ignorant fool. Can you elaborate?
