Tipping Point / Sign Language
51 Answers
Not overkeen on Tipping Point or its presenter, but it’s recently been made more difficult to watch by the addition of a ‘signer’ in the bottom right of the screen.
Have I pressed a ‘settings’ button on my Virgin box, or has everyone now got the signer, whether they want her or not?
This is NOT an ‘anti-sign’ post; I have defective vision, so understand the need, but I’d also like the option of a clear screen.

Just to ensure I'm not going barmy (always a possibility) here is a pic of my TV screen, and what I see from my Virgin set-top box.

"103" is the Virgin channel number. ITV HD is the channel...
I'll do a similar shot (maybe even a video!!) of Tipping Point at 1530.

if you have "tipping point" on to record, unless you've set up the recording in detail on virgin, it'll record all episodes no matter what channel/what time The sign language ones are often the repeats.
to the perrson who said about reading subtitles, literacy levels amongst deaf people (who've always been deaf) is traditionally low, so sign language may be easier

are terrible - average reading age of always deaf is 6 y - it may be 8 y
that is age not y at school.
There is a growing number of once-hearing ( tel que moi) - and they get better by on SAE - sign assisted english - and tend to reject the idea of a deaf sub-culture
the thing being that the deaf frrom birth dont acquire grammar
so learning BSL its just recognising a series of signs.
" the ministry denies that it has rejected second immunisations" is intelligible but has two implied negatives as an English sentence
and is virtually impossible to sign.
and no I dont want to get into the Sapir whorf hypothesis
