Depends if they are in front of me or far away, I can still write on paper if they are in front of me or text them if they are far away, it’s like morse code but already deciphered into English letters on their end , morse code would only work if they knew how to understand it, i’m a bit rusty these days, lol so probably have to text because that’s what most people use these days

[humanearth]

Text them in Morse code

[Likes2drive]

You could but then they need to figure it out what the dots and dashes mean

Thanks for the MHO ❤

[ArrowheadSW]

By texting with my phone. LOL... Seems like that is the way people communicate now anyways... LOL

I used to do Morse code like you, over 15 years ago. It was a great way to work distant stations on the ham radio bands. I just haven't been into ham radio for a long time.

[humanearth]

I don't even own a cellphone. I find them too Intrusive on our life and don't want that in my life

[ArrowheadSW]

Sounds like a good idea. I find them intrusive also.

dit-dah dah-dah-dit dit-dah-dit dit dit dah-dit-dit! Morse can be sent in a number of different media, among which are sound, blinks, shuttered light, among others.
Aside from such versatility, Morse can be slow enough to think about if the communication is appropriate and timely. Gives a bit of time for self-editing, if second thoughts arise.

I actually have a digital dictaphone I've loaded with the most common answers I'd give to questions for just this purpose (although I was inspired by an episode of Buffy, not a more abstract theoretical). But assuming I didn't have that, either ASL or just writing.

[FunkyMonkee]

I DID lose my voice a few years ago and had to whisper everything `til I got it back.

[snackthatsmilesback]

I'd have to relearn ASL better. And just write ig besides that.

[Redstang88]

Texting and writing works fine. I know morse but it’s a pain in the ass

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Do my custom hand things and use my nasal structure as a voice alternative.

[slatyb]

By texting. Almost no one one knows Morse code.

[humanearth]

That's where your wrong

[slatyb]

Amateur radio operators used to have to learn it. They don't anymore. So who knows Morse Code?

[humanearth]

That's in the USA, other countries its still mandatory to learn Morse code

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Via text or writing.
