+1 - we're in complete agreement.

I personally find it much faster to talk and / or draw than to write or type.

Totally agree - not suggesting we throw out writing, we would all be doomed.

I’m sure your blind colleague wrote well - so do many of my dyslexic colleagues. Doesn’t mean it was easy or fast For them though.

I suppose what I’m saying is that there’s no one-size-fits all or one thing for all tasks. This article highlights the advantages of writing. And I agree. But it isn’t the right work from home comms tool for all combinations of people and tasks.

For most people, I'll happily agree with you. From a dyslexic's perspective, being forced to only ever present one's ideas and thoughts in text is pretty restricive.

I was referring to dyslexia. About 5-15% of the US population have some form of dyslexia. Probably should have spelled that out.

I do agree that for non native english speakers, the written word is more accessible.

Not everyone finds written comms as easy as everyone else.

absolutely +1 to keeping records, but as a form of communication it's not terribly equal.

Same issue.
