Thanks !
I often wondered about how deaf persons process written words or somthing in sign or brail.
When I 'm reading , I assign a voice to the person .

Example :When I read what Belly Doc wrote .....I heard Carl Sagans Voice
"We're reconciling the calendar with the position of the earth in it's orbit around the sun, relative to the surrounding stars. We don't exactly make it full circle in 365 spins of the globe (24 hour days).

The clock and the calendar aren't cleanly in agreement. The clock is set based on the earth's rotation on its axis, the calendar is based on the orbit of the earth around the sun. We're lucky that we don't have to clean it up even more!

The rules about leap-year, incidently, are actually a bit more complicated than 1 out of every 4 years... look it up. It's kinda cool! "
Sounds just like Carl Sagan.
Haha That's true. I didn't really think of it that way - adding different "voices" to the person. Everyone's tone of voice pretty much sounds the same to me (I have a Cochlear Implant). If I'm not looking at you while you're talking to me, I would be able to hear you, but my brain isn't trained to differentiate between the sounds (letters), thus it all sounds like mumbling to me. When I read, I pretty much use the same tone for every person!
