    It’s depressing to me that one of the top upvoted comments here is ‘there’s no way a deaf blind person could have been literate.’

      You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

      Besides this is a safe space for batshit unprovable theories.

        That sounds true but I don’t know why

      Mate. Look at where you’re at. People aren’t upvoting me because I’m right, they’re upvoting me because I answered the question.

      there’s no way a dead and blind person could have been literate

      Don’t put words in my mouth. You’re just looking for an excuse to be offended.

        Keep your words out of my mouth

        If you meant something else by:

        ain’t no way she wrote a book.

        I’m open to hearing it. But I’m not sure how you believed that statement gave the impression you thought she was literate.

          opens thread for stupid opinions reads stupid opinion gets upset an opinion is stupid You.

          Most literate people have never written a book. Blind and deaf people are not a monolith, doubting one does not automatically apply to all like you’re implying. If you’re going to criticize me, at least quote me correctly you goober. Go be needlessly upset somewhere else.
