Such love

and an author and artist

Only the dinosaurs fact was undisputed. There were rumours she was faking the rest haha.

People who are downvoting me, just so you know, dumb means "Can't speak"

Maybe edited it to say mute?

No because we shouldn't have to edit ourselves to compensate for other people's feelings and/or stupidity.

Edited 4 hours ago, we can tell if yer edited you know...

I added the "/or" you dupfup.

Helen Keller had the ability to speak, and in fact learned to do so later in life.

@obscuredangel really? I was under the impression she couldn't... Didn't know that!

@aussiecarrot Most Deaf people do have the ability to speak, they just chose not to or haven't learned how. They learn by feeling the vibrations of a speaker's throat and mimicking those same vibrations.
As for the use of "dumb", we no longer use the word to refer to being mute for the same reasons we no longer call someone with a mental disability a "retard".

Ah, gotcha, noted.
