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, subscibe to.
That's true that English is spoken and written but it is impossible to aquire a language solely through written English without learning the spoken form first. If CS was invented because of the written format of English, then that would mean we are asking deaf children to acquire language through the written form first?
