It certainly would be helpful for a totally blind person to learn
to write.  I remember once when I was in the hospital, and I was on
a ventalator, and I could not talk, and I could not write either in
print, therefore, I could not communicate with the nurses.   Boy
how I wished I could write.  I had to make signs trying to get them
to understand what I wanted.
