The Difference Between Writing and Speaking
2009
Numerous lecturers on subjects concerning writing counsel that a student must write as he speaks. In other words, the expressions he writes ought to be the way he speaks them. It is as if there is no essential disparity between writing and speaking, or else such a difference is deemed too small to make any dissimilarity. Perhaps there is some certainty in that, that the statements you speak can be used in everything you write. Excepting, of course, specific topics with their own idioms, such as law and electronics, where plenty of expressions of the topics are not used in ordinary conversation, although the expressions are effortlessly comprehended when people learned in those topics discuss them with each other.
