- Don't talk with your hands full
- Don't wear red nail polish--that's like yelling, or typing in all caps
- Speak slowly for people with bad vision
- Be patient with people who speak slowly due to arthritis
- Only use internet abbreviations when the audience is appropriate. LMAO is not appropriate for talking to your grandmother.
- Proper spelling counts!

That is too funny. One of my friends in college was deaf (still is, I think) and he and his wife would talk like this all the time. they were hilarious. I'm sad to say the only words I remember are turtle, hungry and horny. Not sure where the turtle comes in but the other two make perfect sense to remember.
