Remmy It's free country, You don't have to use your voice. Why should u worry. It doesn't matter if you speak so well and suddenly, you decide to use ASL 100% on that day. Court or anyplace cannot force you to switch back to voice anyway.
I have done this before at the store
ASL is consider a Foreign Language in some states. State of Kansas consider ASL as a Foreign Language like French, Spanish ect.. So if I happen to be at court, I can choose to use voice or ASL. There are no such law demands voice since that some deafie can't speak at all. I have a deaf friend who can't speak normal. She squeal and sqeaks alot when trying to talk. Often, fast food, store and many other place when I was with her in her group. She always write down what she order or want. Sometime she asked me to interprete to voice for her cuz I was the only guy in the group who speaks well.
