I agree that ASL and English don't match, so add closed captions with a disclaimer. True its not needed for Deaf, but I still would like some ASL vlogs to have CC if the vlogger is comfortable. The nice thing on youtube is you can turn the CC on or off depending on your preference. Why add CC? They help bring Deaf/ Late deafened and HOH people together. CC brings Deaf awareness to people who have a limited understanding of ASL. ASL students can turn them off to improve their receptive skills.

Yes I totally agree with DaveASL. I'm hard of hearing too and I'm learning ASL. It helps more without captions. Thanks for this vlog!

Hi Toby! I completely agree, I'm hard of hearing and still learning ASL. If I see vlogs without CC I pay attention much more, helps to learn better :)

If I do I won't add subtitles at all

Personally I agree with this vlog that open caption or subtitles are not needed for deaf people that uses their signing I am deaf as well few of my friends are learning sign language they ask me if they're lost on some things and I help them out but as for captions and subtitles go like it has been said in this vlog they don't match with each other and I don't like what other have said about us deaf ppl don't use subtitles to our signing skills heck I don't have any videos of my own but

@deafpcatoby I am an ITP student who works as a supplemental instructor and leads study groups. This semester I am leading a Beginnning Sign to Voice class and will be using a lot of your VLOGS. I agree with no captions. As hearing people we can't help but gaze at the captions (even if we are fully comprehending the signer) The best way to learn is to work at it. I am amazed how much my receptive skills have grown since I began my voicing classes. Keep it up Toby. I LOVE your VLOGS!!

Thank you for posting this video. I hope you've ignored the silly comments made which have absolutely nothing to do with ASL. Please folks, let's stick to the topic of the video!

I prefer transcripts written in the notes section or captioning on the video itself. If people don't want to watch the captions they can be ignored visually by watching the signer's hands.

@ReformedTheology5 Oh and I want to "thank you" for reporting me to YouTube! You harassed me more than I did to you and yet you have the nerve to report me?! What your problem is is that you're jealous that I have more intelligence that you ever will and it upsets you so much you go around acting like a little bitch (*gasp* oh my go I called you a bitch!!! <---sarcasm). Oh and I did read the comments that you left for me on your channel you are worthless and pathetic.

@ReformedTheology5 @ReformedTheology5 C'mon now quite telling lies (it makes Jesus cry)! You blocked me and you know it! I probably "abuse" your kind (Christians) WAY less than you morons abuse me! Who cares if I called one of your friends a bitch? I just tell it like I see it! Private things to your friend? You posted PUBLIC comments on her channel belittling me! I know you're not my therapist; you'd make a lousy one anyhow! I do NOT need your Jebus!
