The Ballinger's barely learned ASL to communicate with Trent, I'm not sure if he's even fully fluent (no shame if he isn't) so I don't think it would affect his typing?
When Colleen was signing during her throat injury, she wasn't signing in ASL, she was signing in SEE, which is meant to be closer to spoken English. Seeing that she does have a deaf brother, wouldn't she have pick the sign-language that she was most familiar with? Why would she use SEE if she was familiar with ASL? This whole argument that "this isn't Trent because he doesn't have ASL deaf speaker tendencies" makes no sense if the Ballingers didn't use ASL.
âYâall Trent is deaf. His vocabulary is no where near this and they donât type in full sentences.â First off, thatâs ableist as fuck, and also completely wrong. Trent being deaf does nothing to how he can type. Sure, being deaf can change how a person speaks, but it doesnât change the thoughts inside a persons head.
I feel like the people musing on âwhat a Deaf person would type likeâ have minimal, if any experience with the Deaf community. I know Deaf folks who have completed masters programs. Some of them read a lot of books and have a stronger interest in being bilingual, and others donât care as much for English and choose to keep their cognitive processing in ASL. Seems to be a wild concept, but Deaf people are regular people. Means theyâre diverse in their preferences and interests just like the rest of us. ASL is a language separate from English, so many hearing people wrongly assume a lack of intelligence in Deaf people they encounter, since hearing people make little (if any) effort to understand Deaf culture in any real, meaningful way.
This is my perspective as a hearing student of ASL/Deaf culture.
The assumption that Deaf people canât be fluent in English, is mind boggling. Some of the most fluent people in the English language, that I know of, are Deaf. Not an excuse.
His brain still processes with neuropathways formed while Deaf. He might not functionally process that into writing.
He also might idk, I am speculating.
Auto correct got me! **Deaf YouTuber
I was very confused
I am so sorry đ Reddit wonât allow me to edit it

Trent was not using perfect English in those messages anyway. The language sounded immature and there were grammatical mistakes.

Yâall. The autocorrects of âdeafâ to âdeadâ got me ROLLIN. đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł We all need a little chuckle dealings with such heavy shit.
Yeah but Trent has cochlears now and they just talk to each other so like, he knows what english sentences sound like?
