- Interesting question, but I'd still have to consider myself a betweener.
- The reason is that I'm not too proficent in ASL...I can follow some
- ASL but I find it hard to speak in ASL, since my mind's language switch
- is stuck on "ENGLISH". On the other hand, I can't read lips or speak too
- well, so my role in the hearing world is somewhat limited.
