During Hurricane Irma, a very animated sign language interpreter was seen on TV nationwide standing in the right-hand lower corner of your TV set. The man smiled and made exaggerated movements with his arms, hands, and face. He was sporting a bright yellow shirt while supposedly interpreting the urgent warnings that Florida’s Governor Scott and other officials were passing along to the public.
Charlene McCarthy, who owns a company called VisCom that regularly provides interpreters for the county, was watching this press conference and she immediately knew that something went very wrong. McCarthy told WFLA News, the problem became very evident when the words such as pizza, monster, and bear were signed on the screen but had nothing to do with the subject at hand. Most of what was signed didn’t make sense, but those three words were seen thrown into the mix.
