How am I contradicting myself, I'm pretty sure you are not getting me, What am I saying is speech skills is good to be use in a hearing world. You have language you also have speech, those two are different, children can be significantly behind in language development when they only reply on speech skills, simply because speech is the verbal means of communicating and Language is for reading, spelling, and/or writing.
The only reason I compare asl/cued, I was explaining what it is use for, which world doesn't mean asl is better than cued or cued is better than asl. I don't see what's the fuss over this, Remember I have the right of an opinion, so deal with it.
