NatCapVidMo Day 29: Linda Buys a Hat



It's the penultimate day of NatCapVidMo! If you guys have any more video captioning requests, you'd better get them in soon, because this is your last chance. Here's a classic skit from Sesame Street which originally aired in 1993. By that time, Linda Bove had already been on Sesame Street for 22 years. I remember her well from when I watched the show as a little kid in the early '80s. In fact, I'm pretty sure that she was the first Deaf person I was ever consciously aware of, and that the first time I ever saw anyone use Sign Language was on Sesame Street. I've been studying ASL for about two and a half years now, so I realized while watching this video that she altered her signing a bit for the show so that it was closer to English word order than to ASL syntax. (For instance, she signs the sentence "I want to buy a hat" "I-WANT BUY HAT" rather than the more correct "HAT I-WANT BUY" or "HAT BUY I-WANT".) But I still really enjoyed watching it, and the language is simple enough that even an intermediate signer like me can translate it with a pretty high degree of confidence. I think it's funnier if you can understand both sides of the conversation, so I decided to caption it. Now Deaf/HoH signers and non-signing Hearing, deafened, and HoH English speakers can all get in on the joke.

  1. If you are not a good essayist, and if writing is not going be a piece of your career decision, at that point you need to ask yourself for what valid reason you should be a good writer by any stretch of the imagination. This is a reasonable inquiry, in any case, lamentably, every educator and teacher you have will need you to be a good writer – that is the reason they continue appointing those papers and papers you prefer not to write. One of the smart moves is to get help with essay writing from an expert writing service, and that service is best essay writing service.

  7. Watching movies is the easiest way to immerse yourself in another reality. Favorite movies enrich the human worldview, change the mood, help to learn to show sincere feelings in real life.
