I wish Pascal had mentioned that one must tatoo the list on his skin.It's best to write down some lists.
Let's try this again.
Are you ruling in this post that one can refer to a written document when asking a question through the power of The Monocle of Clarity?

Any form of communication is OK, as long as:
- Every player has access to the contents of the question (don't whisper, give folded papers, send private messages, ..)
- Every player understands the question (don't start speaking klingon)
- Every player has acces to the contents of the answer (as above)
- Every player understands the answer (as above)
Clarifications ("What did you just say?", "I can't read what you wrote there" ...) can be asked if need be. I'm not sure at all that has ever been covered in the rulebook. I'd list it under "sportsmanship".
The communication isn't mandatorily done by voice. Usually, as far as I have seen, players use whatever form of communication is the most adapted and the fastest. That's voice in "regular" games, that's writing on JoL, it could be Skype or whatever.
I think I can remember something about "using the notes you've taken in a previous game" where LSJ stated that you can only have blank sheets of paper at the beginning of the game. I'll look for something similar.

I am merely stating it. Players do it all the time on JoL.Are you ruling in this post that one can refer to a written document when asking a question through the power of The Monocle of Clarity?
There is no original ruling for this, as this isn't a ruling.If this is the rule as you understand it but this post is not the original ruling, where does the original ruling come from?

Ah, that's a good question.If this is the rule, can such a document can be created before the game by the player in question? During the game?

The fact that you don't understand klingon is your problem, not mine.- Every player understands the question (don't start speaking klingon)

Well, if all players speak Klingon, that's OK to use Klingon, I suppose.

Instead of some of the lists you could ask along the following lines:
"Do you have in your hand a reaction card that untaps your minion(s) or let's them act as untapped?"
"Do you have in your hand a card that changes the target of bleed?"
"Do you have in your hand a reaction card that untaps your minion(s) or let's them act as untapped?"
"Do you have in your hand a card that changes the target of bleed?"

Majesty would fit in the first section, and DI/Two Wrongs could arguably fit in the second part.
Also, if you control Aksinya, a master in your hand would still not read "Change the target of the bleed".
Telepathic Misdirection would be a valid choice even when none of your minions has superior Auspex

These are dangerous as they can be ambiguous.Instead of some of the lists you could ask along the following lines:
"Do you have in your hand a reaction card that untaps your minion(s) or let's them act as untapped?"
"Do you have in your hand a card that changes the target of bleed?"
