You also went on to say, "I am fully capable of communicating verbally" but seeing you have decided NOT to do so would tend to make me think you're knowingly placing those who may not know ALS in situations of difficulty through no fault of their own.
I agree with IndieVisible;1242194. "You are entitled to do as you wish", but sometimes doing what you wish and doing what is best is two different things on opposite sides of the coin.
As a example, ie: you have a right to ride a bicycle (or even walk) to work instead of using your car.. but don't blame your employer for being mad if you're two hours late.
Life is hard enough as it is without making it any more diffucult!

I agree with you.
While you have a right, you also need to be reasonable.
If you know that not spoken English will create many hardships, then be reasonable and use spoken English. It would certain make things a lot easier.
Think about the tax dollars that are being spent on these proceedings. The harder you make it for them, the more they have to spend. The more they have to spend, the more we have to spend.
