> Should I say "facilitated communication between the hearing community and those who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or speech disabled"?Well, I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack from the business bobs out there, but you should never say FACILITATED or IMPLEMENTED or UTILIZED anything. I used to teach business writing, and it's absolutely common to do these things in the business world, but it's not respected! (Imagine that!)
I would say assisted with or aided in. Hearing disabled covers deaf, so I'd use that and speech disabled.
Maybe: "Eased communication between the hearing and speech disabled and the unimpaired? Helped the hearing and speech disabled communicate with the hearing community? It's a toughie.
> or should I just say "used computer technology to facilitate . . " or should I say "typed conversations" ????
Make this a separate bullet. Say you typed on the whatever it's called, the latest in TTY technology.
> Merry merry merry santa vist, btw. Those plaid pants sound hot.I might have more time when the Merries are over. If you send me your e-mail address, I will be glad to write to you about it. (I have cancelled my old address and want to remain addressless here.)
They were hot. Now they're hotpants. I'm too old for their length.
I hope Santa brings you everything you want. Hey, how's your sex life? Is your sweety's therapy going okay?
