[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

some people simply hve mental block on learning sign languge. i know
people who refuse to learn finger-spelling because thecomputer is
available to me so they say "why bother?" i encourage it because
personakly i'd rathersee them use what they feel relaxed using than be
forced to learn something for which they have nouse.  i have many
communication devices--tellatouch, apmle iie computer, versabraille,
telebraille. so they have no excuse. i myself dont know enough signs to
be comfortable--just finger-spelling. besides i can speak. i'm
deaf-blind but still i don't use all methods of the deaf because i was
raised orally.
