[stylist] descriminative against voices.

I lived across the street from a deaf couple. I understood Mary, the wife,
and she responded in our conversations because she could read lips. I know
another young woman who is amazing! For whatever reason, I was in the
library one day. All of a sudden I hear, "Hello Mrs. Bron." She knows I am
visually impaired. She said, "It's Hannah." Sure enough, that is who I was
talking to. She was the best friend of my friend's daughter. Since then,
she has gotten married and had a few kids. She works in a high level job
somewhere. She went through college and graduated. I guess the ability to
talk in the deaf world is similar to talking in the hearing world. If a
person has been educated and exposed to a higher level of English, that is
what you will hear in conversation. If the person survived on the streets
with a low level of speech, that is what the person will speak. I am not
familiar with the deaf/blind world. I never had exposure. Judith
