<Dd> "How do we call talking deaf? "talking - deaf"? ": If you ask a deaf person, most would reply with something similar to "a deaf person who talks". No brainer . </Dd> <Dd> "This is minds that we must fight, not words": How else do you fight a "mind"? People communicate, understand, and even feel with words . Words are a part of thought, which leads to attitudes and behavior . It is the insensitivity of thoughtless use of words that leads to prejudice . See the discussion above about the "N - word". This part of your argument is pointless . </Dd> <Dd> "I could go on while hours": Please spare us . </Dd> <Dd> The rest of your edit seems to be a rant about sexuality that has no connection to the term "deaf - mute".
