An 8 month old that can ask for more milk is an impressive thing.
actually there have been studies that have shown that deaf (and presumibly hearing) children who are taught ASL from birth have a much greater vocabulary than children taught a verbal language from birth. So while its pretty cool that your 8 month old can ask for more milk it's not uncommon.
I doubt that it'll turn into a case like that, only because the creation NSL so much like the creation of ASL. That and there's a school that's successfuly teaching people in NSL
But really there are more. People sign ASL diffrently in diffrent parts of the US. Wether it be how they sign (close to their body or with more freedom to move) or the signs they use. Using the Millitary as an example doesn't really work cause they're not using it as their main means of communication in every day life. And people sign with one hand, prosumibly just about everywhere, otherwise how would one communicate while trying to hold something or if their arm was in a cast (although the one time that i saw someone sign with a cast on he was using his other hand but he adapted the way he signed). So really the whole 32 dialects thing isn't that suprising.
Airlines would be out of busness real quick if the didn't alow people to bring cell phones on the plane when you look at the precentiage of the population that uses them. That being said, if they were even thinking about banning you from even bring them on the plane they would probably do just short of that and make you put them in your checked luggage so they could make sure they were off (gotta love getting your bags checked!).
I'll second that, but I can see that exact situation happening. As if there wasn't already enough racism (but lets not get into that), particularly relating to terrorism, now we'll get people on cell phones calling the CIA trying to tip the government because the person sitting in the seat across from them isn't white...gotta love upping the chances of me going to jail because of some crazy moron
The real reason they want tell us to turn off the cellphones is as you hope between cells at 300mph they really freak out and waste bandwidth during negations, you leave a trial contexts that need to be cleand up later. But as we saw three years ago, it wasnt the cell phones crashing planes into buildings, infact they seemed to work just fine during flight operations.
Interesting point in the fact that the cell phones definitely worked while in flight that day. But you also have to realize that they weren't 35,000-40,000 ft. above ground, there for detected by far less cell towers.
