Written word.
I manage a crew, and found that every time I gave orders verbally, someone always comes back, wanting clarification, or forgetting all, or part of the instruction.
So, I began to write small lists about a year ago, with some explanation for my employees, and I'll hand it to them. It takes a little longer, but I've never had anyone come back for clarification again, and every job is not only done right, but it's done the best way possible.
And I write letters, because it's more personal. Communication on a forum like this sucks, because one person's sarcastic joke, is another person's flame.

I think faster than I can speak. So when I talk with people, my sentences are all jumbled up and people have a hard time following along with me.

Of all of the above, I have to choose snail mail. Any form of vocal communication causes me the same problem; I mean to say one thing and something completely different comes out, then I stumble over my words and wind up awkwardly silent. This is especially true of class presentations and any other form of speaking to multiple people at once. It is easy enough to deal with the written or typed word- my hands (fortunately) do not suffer the same difficulties as my vocal chords do- but of written forms, I consider anything handwritten to be slightly more personal. A hand-written letter may contain much more of a person's actual self, emotions and all, than anything typed is able to.
Thus, snail mail it is, even though I almost never use it.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
