This seems much better advice. I found the opposite of PG. I discovered that when I worked on talking the way I wrote, my speech became much better and more interesting. Now, PG speaks off the cuff pretty well. So I suppose if people find you well spoken, it makes sense to try to write more like you talk. But if you write better than you speak, make your speech more like your writing.
