Still, it has nothing to do with written language skills. With that logic, I wouldn't be able to verbally speak probably if I was blind.

With your logic you would be learning to speak with your eyes... I used my ears personally.

Speech -> language processing -> written/verbal communication.

That is the chain that can be broken/affected by being deaf to have an effect on written skills.

I'm not really following Elfs logic.

So deaf people don't read then? Or never went to school and got taught how to read and write? That's basically what you're saying.

Being deaf has nothing to do with how you write and the order in how you write words.

You learn to speak long before you learn to read.

Being deaf has everything to do with how you learn to communicate, and writing is an extension of that. For someone who demands tolerance of alternate sexualities, you sure are intolerant.

We need a deaf person in here to clear things up.
I could ask my sister she can sign and has worked with deaf kids.

I can imagine that a person who speaks in a certain way because they are deaf may also write in that same manner.

Either way the OP still wrote a load of pointless crap.

He also used the F word twice and being deaf is no excuse for foul language, I say give him a three day ban and take away his sweeties.
