I hate it when someone picks up on my accent through my manual alphabet! lolz
Serious thought though, she was able to read lips by placing her fingers over the lips of the speaker, and her thumb on the larynx to feel the vibration. I wonder if difference in accent would be perceptible through this method?
I had a deaf girlfriend and she could tell people's accents from the way they formed words when she lip-read. She even had preferences (Irish, American, Australian, pretty much the same as many "hearing" women).
P.S. Tip for you. If you're going to turn your back on a deaf woman and mumble something under your breath, check where the mirrors are in the room.
Who is hotter?
