Here I am writing another snippets article, which is one of the signatures for JoshiesWorld. I always like writing snippets article because it allows me to write several topics or subjects in one article instead of one by one and in my opinion, I think that they also give the readers plenty of things to read! I don’t know if you have noticed or not, I have added a new feature on here which is table of contents which it give you a list of all topics that I write in snippets article so that you know what topics is in there which it can be helpful if you prefer to read specific topics instead of reading all of them when you are in a hurry and as well making it easier for all of us to select which topic that we would want to share with others by either telling them which topic in the list that you would like for them to read or just select the topic then copy the URL address at the top of your internet browser address bar to paste them around to your friends or family to save their time from having to find the specific topic that you want them to read. You will see the table of contents from on now,…

How are you all?! I hope that everything is well with you all, I know I haven’t done snippets article in a very long time as I have been investing a lot of my time on other parts of JoshiesWorld and that is reviews as some of you already know by now that the reviews are a new addition for JoshiesWorld. Not only that, we all know that Christmas is coming faster than we feel or think and this means that we have been busy or that we are about to get busier than ever especially trying to shop for some of the things for our family and friends! Even I am already thinking about the things or what to do for Christmas I am forgetting that there is Halloween coming up in just a matter of few days and then there is thanksgiving on the way! There are so many things for me, trying to juggle a lot of things and hoping that one of them doesn’t slip through but even sometimes they are difficult I like doing them. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed and that is just the norms for the people who try to accomplish something that they want to accomplish or reaching whatever the goals that they want to reach. Is there something that you…
This is just a very small post for you all to read because this is more on a personal level than I normally write. For many years, I have been looking for pictures of myself when I was young, especially my accomplishments and whatnot. I do know that I was the first student to demonstrate a new computer with disc compact (CD) for Pike County schools in Kentucky; that is the newspaper that I am still in search of, but I have found an old VHS which I am working on figuring out how to transfer the VHS digitally. If so, I will show it around here or on social media. While we were going through old things such as pictures, VHS tapes, and whatnot, I finally found some newspapers with me in them. It was the talk of Pike County, Ky, because I was a student who happened to be Deaf student who was paving the way to get new computers for the students at my school when I was just five years old. During my time in grade school, I was five years old or around that age; when anyone thinks of someone who is a computer whiz, I would be it, and being Deaf is what made me so, which is something I am very thankful for.…
It is that time of the year again, as we are at the beginning of September in the year 2019 and it is the month of International Deaf Awareness Month! Every year in September is a celebration for the deaf and hard of hearing community but at the same time, we also use that opportunity or a platform to raise awareness to the public so as to educate the public about the community. Educating the public about many things that are valued in the Deaf community, such as its culture and as well each sign language. As for me here in United States, American Sign Language is not the only sign language because every country have their own country such as British Sign Language (BSL), Mexican Sign Language (LSM), Australia Sign Language (Auslan), French Sign Language (LSF), South African Sign Language (SASL), Korean Sign Language (KSL) and others so you get the idea that most of the countries have their own sign languages including the one here in the United States of America which is American Sign Language but the United States is not the only one county that use American Sign Language since Canada also use American Sign Language as one of their primary sign language along with another one which is Quebec Sign Language (LSQ). So, a lot…
I have been thinking about what I have been missing from JoshiesWorld, I know I have made a few reviews on here but mostly on other websites such as Google, Facebook or IMDb and whatnot. When I make a review on here, it is usually a simple article sharing my thought of a product, film, television show, a website, a business or whatever that I would want to make a review on. The other day I was looking through all reviews I have made, I came to realizing that I need some sort of system that would do a review better than just an article with my thought, besides a few days ago I received an e-mail from a new business that has created a product and they sent me some details wondering if I would take in their new product for a review. That is where I told myself that I have to do something because I declined to receive a free product from a company in exchange for my review and the reason I declined was that I felt that if I want to give a real review that I would need something first. So, that is where I decided to do something and integrated a review system onto JoshiesWorld so that way I can give a real…
I have been seeing a lot of Deaf people on social media starts to use a mix of American Sign Language and International Sign Language which can be very confusing for a lot of people including myself. What is more bothersome is that some copy the signs from International Sign Language with American Sign Language, telling people that they are American Sign Language when they aren’t even American Sign Language because they are signs from International Sign Language and uses them with American Sign Language can be very confusing for some. There are some people in a group calls “ASL That!” where they would learn some new signs for some words in American Sign Language obviously since the group are all about ASL aka American Sign Language and I have noticed that some Deaf people along with other people who know sign language (interpreters or codas) in the group or even outside the group would use the sign for people from International Sign Language thinking that it is the new sign or modernized sign for American Sign Language when they are not as they are being copied from International Sign Language. To my fear that I am starting to see a lot of people start using mixture of American Sign Language and International Sign Language for the norms which would…
