And Cubelands, Stop using such HORRIBLE grammar and blaming it on being deaf. I know deaf people, and their grammar is no where close to being as bad as yours. If anything, deafness should have made your grammar better because that's your main way of communication over the internet.
I'm just gonna come out and say that Glass is yet again being a prejudiced starfish. Yes, Cubelands is 39/40 and shouldn't be hanging out on a forum full of teenagers/prepubescents. It's not healthy for him.
But if he really is deaf and 39 or 40 years old, then he's extremely unlucky. He was born in a time before the Americans w/ disabilities act. Most children with hearing loss/difficulties back then weren't diagnosed until they were 3-5 years old, by which point it's too late for them, and they either grow up with smaller vocabularies, atrocious grammar, a nearly unintelligible accent, 2 of those, or all 3.
Devices like hearing aids and cochlear implants weren't widely used at all back then. They were often too expensive, too bulky, or in the case of cochlear implants, risky. The earliest cochlear implants were about the size of those big-ass computers you see in labs from 70s-80s movies. The next generation were about the size of suitcases. Hearing devices back then were extremely impractical and/or expensive, and it's understandable why Cubeland's parents or Cubelands himself didn't get them.
And as for the deaf people you know, they're teenagers, right? Your age? That's because they either were educated in a deaf school where they are taught written english and grammar alongside every other typical subject. Again, Cubelands lived in a time before the ADA, so he didn't have access to those facilities. Yes, there were deaf schools back then, but perhaps his parents didn't have the money, so they sent him to a public school with insufficient facilities.
As I've said in a previous topic, Cubelands is a horrible spokesperson when it comes to the deaf community. If anyone has any serious questions (and I mean SERIOUS) about being deaf/the deaf community, ask me.
