Droid Pics Blurry - Blatant Ignorance
Hi Everyone,
I look at this site frequently, as I've found so much to be very helpful. I didn't register here til a few minutes ago when I saw this string of posts. I realize your posts were approx. 10 months ago and you may never see this; but I had to respond to the blatant ignorance and arrogance of "Sweettooth," and explain a few things about both speech/hearing disorders AND manners.
Being deaf has EVERYTHING "to do" with not being able to read/write. A person with a speech/hearing disability has a "language-based" disability. Having not HEARD speech correctly, the person may not LEARN speech (and therefore writing) correctly.
"Markdriod's" writing showed ME, an EDUCATED professional, his disability, and unless you KNOW this gentleman, your judgments are not needed. It's disappointing that you picked apart a disability, even after he offered an explanation to your out-of-line comment. The fact he can read lips is much more admirable than the time you took to explain that YOU can read AND write.
As an educator, and parent of a child with speech/hearing issues, I take issue with your running commentary and ignorance. As a human being, I can only hope you realize your arrogance and fix it, or just shut up when you are in mixed company.
And, by the way, if you are looking to write greeting cards, you may want to reconsider. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
