That's nice and all but I'm deaf so I can't use the phone.
Waaaaay off topic, but I hope you won't mind this question:
I watched
There Will be Blood last night, and there was an explosion which deafened a boy, about ten. When the movie jumps forward he's in his twenties, and one scene shows him talking with his (very drunk) father, using an interpreter, signing all the time. But would not a deaf person be able to read the lips of a close associate? And would he not speak to him s well?
There are also reasons in the movie, perhaps, why the son kept this distance from his (shitty) father. He could indeed speak all right, and did so after much prodding and abuse from the father.
Please pardon the interruption, and I hope I am not out of line foisting this question on you.
