Igor don't you exclusively spew the garbage that enters your head anyway

My words of wisdom are valuable, treasure them Curt

Also- trying to get around the "not speak" by saying you'll write it down or type it or such is cheating. I read this as "Not able to communicate... period".

what a weird pile of assumptions

Not really- if you can still communicate, then people have an "out". Kinda like the people who use their "wish" to wish for more wishes. It tells you nothing about the person's choice other than they look to game the system.

Yeah, wtg, Boc!

A would lead to far more interesting outcomes.

That's really not the question, the question is: Do you want to always or never speak for the rest of your life?

That's because the person who wrote the original question that Curtis borrowed from didn't understand the concept of a good cognitive review on questions of this sort. For example, "speak" has a number of definitions which can lead to folks answering the question under wrong assumptions. For example, two definitions of "speak" are:

5. to make a statement in written or printed words.
6. to communicate, signify, or disclose by any means; convey significance.


Now, if you use only the "verbal" definition of speak, then you think you can get around this to cheat the question, whereas using all the definitions of "speak" means you either say everything on your mind or you never communicate with anyone. *NOW* the question becomes much harder.

Huh, I've never seen it used for 6, this thing needs to cite its sources.
Weird to think of sign language as a form of speaking,

If that's the case then you should choose A and make yourself mute to function in society.

And then you start signing non stop ( :

Not really odd at all- talk is also "verbal" first, but also means all forms of communication, like "I'll talk to you later on the mafia board!"

sounds like you really wish this survey was an entirely different survey. if that's the game we're playing, i'd like a pony and a billion dollars and another wish.

sorry, i just Always have to say everything on my mind

The loophole in Vlady's case is choosing A and "saying" everything that you don't want to say out loud in a form of communication you make up.
Like toe wiggling.
