"Having an Interpreter is Advantageous"




This is in response to Joey Baer's "What will you do?" and Seek Geo's request of ABC's joke!

ABC,
I wish I could do that in a REAL world. Often my interpreters at U.O. ask me to slow down. I rather to allow them to keep paced with my ASL. Otherwise, I would be looked stupid if interpreters voice my short-cut words to the audience. What choice do I have?

Ha, ha! Very funny. I could sit back and watch the expression on hearing person's face while the interpreter catches up with our conversation.

PS. Don't forget to wash your hands!

Terps are also human beings, too. We ought to be considerate about them in some ways.

Other terps could be real a**hole which they think deaf people ought be submissive to terps and other hearing people.

One terp is a Wiccan himself which I have to be real careful with him. I do not want any curse or black magic on me from this terp. Other deaf people do have problems with this very same terp.

How many does signing word per minutes? I have only known our former president John F. Kennedy did spokes 150 words per minutes! So I assume for ASL signing is 300 or so word per minutes! It is really tough on interpreter.

Hi Mr. ABC,

I have noticed some interpreters are unfamilair with terms of sign language. I wondered why he/she completed their college degree in interpreting program. WHY?

Also fingerspelling that some interpreters could not able to reception enough for deaf clients. Sometimes, I feel embarrased when I had a meeting with my supervisor or during the job interview. I wondered how do you feel about this situation?
