We have made it so difficult for anyone from Mexico to immigrate her legally, I think it's incredibly unfair. If she were Canadian, there would be no problem! I think it's racist! She has a lot to offer and was financially successful in Mexico. Few people realize that even marriage to an American will not help a Mexican become a citizen anymore. They've been working with an immigration lawyer for about five years in order to do everything properly.

Just because whites conquered the Americas, it mean we Native Americans have to lay down and surrender our culture, heritage, traditions, etc? Think again, white sympathizer! Oh, a**hole?

I was not aware that ALL associations, societies, and federations do not fall under the "fewer than 15 employees exemption" under the ADA. Can you provide a title and section number supporting this - this would be helpful information for many of us. Unfortunately, I did not have any luck searching the websites you provided for this information. I also could not find anything in the text of the ADA itself, save a mention of organizations with 501 status, which I'm guessing may include the 501(c)3 organizations, which likely include some of the above-mentioned associations, societies and federations.

Anyway, excellent maiden post. I could fully relate to it, because I have seen and heard of such incidents. I was lucky to have a great advisor/mentor when I was in grad school who helped pave the way for conferences, services, and the like. But if I hadn't had someone step up to bat for me, I probably would have been in your shoes (or worse!). It's troubling that we deaf academics/conference attendees often have to rely on hearing superiors, supporters, advisors, mentors, and the like to step in and help out. I agree with Christian-- cultivate a relationship with the people you correspond with, and the powers-that-be that control the purse. I also agree with your suggestion: be proactive and provide a list of interpreters/agencies in the host city/region. It really should be the payee's job to do this, but it really helps, especially if they don't have a clue about deafness, interpreting, etc. You do the "work" for them, they can't claim ignorance. Sad, but true. Teresa, welcome to the ranks of bloggers. *grin* It was good meeting you at the Kendall Green conference, btw.

Yet--when talking to people that is the word they use in MY neck of the words. I love reading about the etymology of words, don't you? Surprises me 'ginormous' is in the dictionary. Have you read The Professor and the Madman? Great book! We’re getting way off track , but I can’t help it. :-) I looked up disinvite and uninvite, and was surprised to see uninvite wasn’t in there.

For some reason, it feels more accurate. Vikki, perhaps, it’s safer to spell this way: un-invited (with a hyphen). For some reason, it feels more accurate.
