it seems to be more common to see sign language interpreters now. is it just virtue signaling to have that instead of just closed captions?
- jallmann 2y agoMany deaf people do prefer sign language as an accessibility option over reading captions, even if the interpreting can be hit-or-miss.
- matroid 2y agoAlso, in India, many hearing-impaired people know only ISL.
- lolinder 2y agoThis is also true in the US. People pick up enough written English to get by most of the time, but it's often quite broken and clearly a second language. I know hearing impaired people native to the US with substantially worse English than the average European.
- egberts1 2y agoJust so you know, "hearing-impaired" implies that a person has a flaw whether a person is born with it (it is natural to them) or impacted in later life (hearing-challenged). Most non-offensive way to refer to a group of people without perfect hearing is "hard-of-hearing or deaf".
- bluGill 2y agoSign languages is nothing like spoken language and so reading a spoken language is hard.
