Something of a nit, but wouldn't it be both more accurate and "precise" to say: I write what I mean to say Rather than: I mean to write what I say The former implies that one is expressing themselves as they wish, while the latter implies that one wishes to do so but may or may not be doing that. As I said, it's something of a nit I'm picking, but the meanings are pretty different IMHO, even if most folks would assume that both mean the same thing.
