I have noticed some people seem to have a problem with the concept of Deafhood based on the connotations or semantics (meanings) of the -hood suffix. As a linguist, I explain what this suffix means (having a condition, character or certain state), and explore the idea from other words using the -hood suffix.
I appreciate you making your vlogs hearing- accessible, lol, for those if us who are learning ASL but are not yet fluent. Thank you!\
