I sit at a desk with a short form. This is my name, and this is my email. I write my city and my phone number. I choose my favorite color on the form. The clerk says, Can you spell your email?. I speak clearly and use simple letters. I ask, Can you repeat the last question?. We check the time for a short meeting. That time is fine, and I sign my name.
