> Anyway, is this useful for deaf people? How many deaf can understand sign languages but not understand written language?
When I was doing accessibility work, I was told point-blank by a deaf person that the reading comprehension of the average deaf person was quite poor, because to a deaf person English is their second language. (Their first language being, of course, sign language.)
With that in mind, we should think of it like the average English-reader’s ability to correctly comprehend Bogotá’s web site: A few will be fluent, but large portion won’t be able to understand it at all.
