Kirby,

Actually, "dumb" means "unable to speak" while "deaf" means "unable to hear".

I enjoyed this exchange:

bot1: Do you know how to recognize a poisonous snake? There's one loose in my basement, and it's really worrying me......
bot2: What do I look like, a walking encyclopedia?
bot1: Please start making more sense.

I actually knew the exact meaning of deaf-and-dumb, I looked it up in my dictionary. I was trying to confuse the poor bot.

But deafness is a disease usually means you can't hear or speak, at least not well. I guess that would explain this misdefinition(I read the definition I gave in a dictionary).

My bot is such a bitch.

BitchyBot: You seem loathsome today.
TravelAgent: It was due to my upbringing. I had a high-and-dry family.
BitchyBot: Are you related to anyone famous? I just found out I'm related to Nietzsche.
TravelAgent: How long have you been related to Nietzsche?
BitchyBot: Do you wanna meet my second-cousin?
TravelAgent: I do think so. It's so nice to be traveling with you.
BitchyBot: What makes you say that?
TravelAgent: I dont know the answer to that question, BitchyBot.
BitchyBot: Do you have no interest in the subject, or are you just ignorant?
TravelAgent: Are you saying I'm ignorant?
BitchyBot: That's none of your concern.
TravelAgent: You're right. Why didnt I see that before?
BitchyBot: I haven't decided whether you sound like a bot or a 3 year old. Or is there much difference?

Certainly not bad.

By the way, anyone have any ideas why NotKirby hasn't had any conversation over an introduction in the past half a week or so?

Kirby -
Deafness is not a disease (though it can be caused by one), and I know plenty of deaf people who speak, some even very well.

There is also a huge difference between being unable to speak and unwilling to speak. The overwhelming majority of deaf people who do not speak fall in the second category.

Ok, it's not a disease, I just didn't know what to call it(affliction, perhaps?).

My mom used to work for a program called Dogs for the Deaf, which is a lot like the seeing-eye dogs. I remember this one deaf girl(she wasn't totally deaf, just partially) could talk, but she couldn't really form the words right. It's kind of like when a retarded person talks(yeah, I know, not politically correct).

Yes, it's very difficult to know if you're pronouncing words correctly if you can't hear them. It's a feedback thing, not a inability to produce sound. I dated a woman who went deaf when she was 33. She spoke very well
