You should have written down "Yes I can write but .... I can't read. lol I had done that before.

One of the best ironies! If it happens again, tell him, "You can
read and write, but you cannot
comprehend!"

This story reminds me of a time in my college class when I sat in front and waited for my interpreter to show up. She came and signed to me then went to talk to the teacher for a moment. There was a girl sitting next to me. She started talking to me but I didn't hear her. I told her I was deaf and that if she talked slowly, maybe I could read her lips, but I preferred to use the interpreter if I couldn't follow what she said. She smiled at me and then said, "Oh, ok. Is your interpreter deaf too?"

I looked at her for a minute without saying anything, and then I simply said, "Think."

She finally got it. Silly question.

A quick pondering to share:

What if they mean to say this: "Can you read [lips] and write [back]???

Hmmhmm...!

Cool! I remember when I got new job at private company. The hearing person came and talked to me behind me. I felt drift and looked her. I said I cant hear as I am deaf. She said I am so sorry that you cant hear. I said oh I say I am so sorry you hear too. She puzzled and laughed at me after we became good friends for long time till she passed away. Missed her.
