11/11/11 was bound to be a big day for la ONCE, the National Organization of Spanish Blind folks - in Spanish the first letters of the name of the organization spells ONCE, which means ELEVEN in Spanish.
The people selling the lottery tickets stand on corners and scream at you to buy their tickets. I wholeheartedly believe that this yelling by blind folks is what caused non-blind folks to assume that the best way to communicate with blind folks is by yelling at them...because it is not only their sight that is impaired, but their hearing as well.
