I am in the process of looking for a wife and like they say, "All the good ones are taken already."
On a match site I had the following conversation regarding "dumb". Hopefully on this board we know the different meanings of "dumb".
My part is in BLUE and hers will be in RED.
Ken: I'm so tired I sent you the same message 3 times it looks like. Dumb me.
Her: your not dumb. but that does happen
i was looking at my email in matchdoc and there was this guy that email me in there ,i was looking at his profile and his profession was he was social worker, and i ask him about that and he email me back stating he worked with the deaf and dumb clients... and i looked at that, and i bitched him out i said for being a social worker you sure dont have a heart especially calling a disabled person dumb...
Ken: Well, I made it back here to the bedroom but instead of just going to sleep, I made mistake of reading on a forum and checking the mail.
You said:"...email me back stating he worked with the deaf and dumb clients... and i looked at that, and i bitched him out i said for being a social worker you sure dont have a heart especially calling a disabled person dumb... "
You're joking, right? You can't be serious.
Deaf means can not hear
Dumb means can not speak/talk
"Dumb" the way he used it IS correct. In that usage it has NOTHING to do with being stupid.
I'll bet he thought you were not in touch with reality! Our school, here in Oregon was started back in 1870;
"The deaf-and-dumb school at Salem was organized in 1870,..."
Go Google deaf and dumb school and look at the thousands of results, Bonnie. All states have Deaf and Dumb schools.
That really made me chuckle... thank you! Now I HAVE to take a nap before I bang my head on the keyboard from nodding off.

Her: no social worker if they have a heart would not call a client dumb... it may had been called back then, but not now. so it wasent ment to be a joke
She actually believes he is calling the client "stupid". She didn't "hear" a thing I said. It seems that is what is available "out there" today to choose from. No thank you.
So many of them can't spell, misuse "your", using it 95% of the time, they should be using "you're". I notice that on this board too. Also a lot of misuse of "then" when the word should be "than".
I put on my socks, "then" my shoes. I would rather wear shoes "than" boots.
Then is do something, "then" do something else.
Than is do this instead of that.
If I were to have a few wishes granted, one of them would be for people to take more pride in their (yeah, "there" is used in the wrong place all to often too.) forum posts.
Better for everyone all the way around, easier to read and understand is always welcome.
But, bitching a social worker out who works with deaf and dumb people... that takes the cake!
Enjoy.
