Apologies for the confusion. Yes, I am sure. Capital letters joined together by hyphens do not represent a fingerspelled word. Fingerspelled words are spelled out using manual signs for each letter of the word. These signs may be distinct handshapes or movements specific to each letter.

Yelling is not an accepted way to get someone's attention in the Deaf community. Since yelling relies on sound, it is not effective for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Instead, alternative methods such as tapping on the shoulder, waving, or using visual cues like flashing the overhead lights are commonly used to get someone's attention in the Deaf community.

False.

Deaf children do not always have deaf parents. In fact, a majority of deaf children are born to hearing parents. This is known as a "deaf-hearing" or "hearing-parent deaf-child" situation. However, having deaf parents or being part of a Deaf family can provide deaf children with a strong cultural and linguistic connection to the Deaf community.

When you are communicating with a Deaf person who has an interpreter, you should only talk to the interpreter and ignore the Deaf person.

False.

When communicating with a Deaf person who has an interpreter, it is important to direct your communication to the Deaf person and not solely to the interpreter. The role of the interpreter is to facilitate communication between both parties, but it is essential to maintain direct communication with the Deaf person by making eye contact and speaking directly to them. Ignoring the Deaf person and only addressing the interpreter can be disrespectful and exclude them from the conversation.
