 SP> I've wondered long enough..

 SP> What on earth is cueing?

Shirley, the cueing that Robin was referring to is "Cued Speech"
or "CS", a system developed by Dr. Orin Cornett of Gallaudet as
sort of a supplement to speechreading.  Many phonemes cannot be
distinguished by speechreading alone, so CS establishes a system
of "cues" (handshapes and positions) to help with the words that
can't reliably be discriminated by speechreading.

Gallaudet publishes a Cued Speech newsletter.
