English is spoken and written. Once again I can explain this for you, it is the fact that the language has a written format that Dr. Cornett choose to name the system Cued Speech.

It appear you subscribe to the same misinformation regarding Cued Speech as many of the interpretors and members of the Deaf community, that I am familiar with, subscribe to. It is not about learning to speak.
