I've thought about that TTS, as well. I think people are more forgiving to those who literally cannot speak. Anything to reduce the stress & embarrassment would be nice. We don't need all this difficulty in our life. Just don't. I had a speaking difficulty earlier when getting a boba drink. The worker just smiled at me (concealing a laugh) as I tried to get my words out. We've all gotten that from people who are trying to be nice. Made me wish I hadn't gone in there, but oh well. It's over now.
