This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you've never heard English you can't understand it

I didn't see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time
