Would you rather lose the ability to read or lose the ability to speak?

[Jay™]

If you strongly swing introvert or extrovert, this might be pretty easy for you.

Speak, no question. I don't talk to many people, anyway.

 

[Kylie]

I would rather lose the ability to speak. The ability to read is more useful than the ability to speak, sadly.

 

[Jay™]

I would have to go with speak as well.
I love to read.

 

[Kyng]

The ability to speak. It'd be annoying, but manageable. On the other hand, losing the ability to read would be absolutely crippling: I could no longer do my job, or participate in most of my hobbies and leisure activities.

Agreed, you wouldn't even be able to post on forums! It'd be awful!

That's very true

You will find it very difficult to get along if you don't know how to read.

You can communicate with writing but when you can speak but can't read, it's very bad for you already.

I would rather lose the ability to read than lose my voice. Even if you cannot read, you can still say something through speaking with the aid of hearing. Tom Cruise cannot read, but he can perform well in his movies.
