“Can’t Deaf people just read text?” Yes, many can. The thing is: Text is not always the language where understanding happens. #DeafAccess #SignLanguage https://t.co/p8c1VFB7bx

So in the workplace, when you see a Deaf colleague signing with a lot of energy: They're not mad. They're just using bold and exclamation marks to make a point. Expression ≠ Emotion. Expression = Intonation.

This isn't being "dramatic." It's how the language works. The same sign with a different face can mean something completely different — like putting stress on the wrong syllable in spoken language. It changes everything.

Hearing people use pitch and volume for tone: rising pitch for questions, stress for emphasis. Deaf people don't have an audio channel. So every tonal cue must be shown visually. Eyebrows up = question mark. Mouth wide = degree adverb. Bigger hand movement = exclamation point.

A sign name is not only about speed. It can carry recognition, memory, and social context. Before reading this, had you heard of sign names?
How do names work in signed conversations, beyond spelling each letter? Answer: sign names🤟 In many Deaf communities, a name can have its own visual form. #DeafCulture #SignLanguage https://t.co/ojpiLDeNqK
Some sign names may connect to initials. Others may come from a habit, movement, or visual trait. How they are created can vary across communities and relationships.
