a person who can't speak is mute,
think to yourself, can you really loose your other senses? A person who can't smell must have some kind of disease or doesn't have a nose, a person who can feel muust be paralyzed or has no hands, a person who cant taste must have no tongue, i don't think there are really names for the disability for such senses besides seeing, hearing, and speaking.
no because you don't have to learn anything else because of you lack...
ie. without sight you need to learn to get around.. bump up your other senses.. deaf you have to learn sigh language..
but smell.. you just dont smell...
make sense? haha
punny
p.s the girl above me is wrong..
half my family cannot smell... it is just something you are not born with..
it isnt a disease (and they all have noses!)
The inability to taste is ageusia. (An ageusic?)
The inability to smell is anosmia. (An anosmic)
