Do you mean "oral"?

DOH!!!!

"Verbal" includes both "written" and "oral".
The opposite of "verbal" is "graphic".

We get that trick question in the first hour, first day of Law
School Contracts I regarding what's not worth the paper it's not
written on (which is not true - except in specific instances where
the law requires that a contract be in writing, an oral contract can
be as enforceable as a written contract).

HAW! My bad!

Perfect example of why legal stuff is written the way it is, rather than in
'plain English regular people can understand'. Of course the fact that 'regular
people' can understand the same 'plain English' sentence several different
conflicting ways is conveniently forgotten.

Point is, there are plenty of accomodations possible for both the written and
code tests.
