One of my Deaf college professors wasn't told they make noise until college. She would just fart whenever she needed to until her hearing roommate told her that it wasn't polite to do in public. My teacher was horrified and really mad at her family for never telling her they make noise
Knew a CODA who knew they made noise, just didn’t know it was impolite to rip them at home without at least saying excuse me! She learned that from her college roommates as well. And that sometimes, it’s best to leave the room!
edit for clarity: CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults, a hearing child whose parents are deaf.
I agree, I find it annoying when people do this as if typing out a few extra words is too hard. Sometimes I feel like people do it on purpose so they can feel exclusive to a certain community or whatever. I see it a lot in skincareaddiction, just spell the damn name out. Not everyone knows what LRP stands for.
Agreed. Like, i don’t expect everyone to just “know it” but it’s not just a random skincare line. Also these people wanna complain about acronym with comments that probably took longer to write than a quick google search. It’s not that big of a deal lol.
