This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?
Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.
or he may have signed while saying it.
I think it would be instinct by that point.
Good point.
Sign "I'm going to say I love you"
Say "I love you"
Idk, probably fake cuz 4chan but it made me feel feelies so idc
In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.
I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.
Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.
"I move closer to he"
Anon may be gay too
"a shadow was cast"
Ominous 😄
Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant
How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you've never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??
Reading lips is a visual representation of a sound. A teacher teaching you to read lips is only the relationship between two visual representations. Written word and moving lips. I think my point stands.
Yeah I misread your comment I thought you didn’t understand how a deaf person could learn to read lips, but you were talking about the relationship between sound and lips. Hence why I deleted it immediately. Not sure why you could’ve still replied.
Ah didn't realise you deleted it. It was in my inbox in sync and I replied directly there.
If your whispered in their ear, then yes, if you've never heard English you can't understand it
I didn't see that in the post - lip reading would still that gap nicely, as would signing and speaking at The same time
