This question is fairly open-ended... perhaps more specifically a particular emotion, with a example sentence? – mikeybaby173 Nov 5 '12 at 19:40

Probably would have to be clarified, but not a bad question. – Nightfirecat Sep 26 '12 at 3:33

"How can I avoid eye strain during prolonged conversations?" would be an infinitely better title. These are supposed to be questions after all. – Nightfirecat Sep 26 '12 at 3:39

Great suggestion @Nightfirecat. Done. – jmort253 Sep 26 '12 at 3:43

	Oops I meant to ask this about Auslan because I had heard a couple of things suggesting so but when I typed the question I put ASL by mistake - sorry. – hippietrail Nov 12 '11 at 16:40
	I'm not sure a question like this would have an answer, unless supported by external studies... – Nightfirecat Sep 26 '12 at 3:38
	I believe there are studies, and if not, a definitive answer that there are definitely no studies would still be a good one. – hippietrail Sep 26 '12 at 4:12

It's a personal-preference thing, thus this doesn't have a concrete answer. – Nightfirecat Sep 26 '12 at 3:34

@Nightfirecat I seem to remember someone telling me that (some?) people growing up deaf and signing don't have their "mother tongue" (say English) as native language, but signing, so they have as much trouble with English subtitles as if they were foreigners. That sounded plausible to me, and I have observed that some TV shows and political events have signers translate and overlayed rather than using subtitles. I think it's a valid concern if you want to create accessible media. "It's personal" would be a valid answer (the asker wouldn't know it's subjective) and tell me to do both. – Raphael Sep 26 '12 at 10:52

I suppose that would be the question "Do deaf people prefer....", which I can see a more structured discussion of. – Nightfirecat Sep 27 '12 at 0:29

@Nightfirecat That's fine, too, and probably clearer. I edited accordingly. – Raphael Sep 28 '12 at 11:22

Might be relevant to mention what sign language this applies to - I'm fairly certain it doesn't behave the same way for every sign language. – Nightfirecat Dec 13 '11 at 0:18

I feel like this question is poorly worded; I feel like it would be better asked as something along the lines of "Is NGT practiced outside of the Netherlands?" – Nightfirecat Jan 16 '12 at 21:18
