Out of morbid curiosity, why do you arrive at the conclusion that the writing of a person should significantly depart from that of their regular speech patterns

Out of morbid curiosity, why do you arrive at the conclusion that the writing of a person should significantly depart from that of their regular speech patterns? I mean, to be candid, that actually is the case for me in a much different way that isn't relevant in this context and I don't care to discuss but you couldn't be more incorrect and inscrutably so with regard to this context.
If I'm being glib, I would say that's a sign of mental illness where there's not a code-switching economic/practical basis for doing so [hmm emoticon]

Here's a good start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_language#Comparison_with_spoken_and_signed_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Written_language#Comparison_wi... then maybe Variation and Change in Spoken and Written Discourse https://benjamins.com/catalog/ds.21 https://benjamins.com/catalog/ds.21 There's a whole field dedicated to that in linguistics, feel free to turn it upside down. > I mean, to be candid, that actually is the case for me in a much different way that isn't relevant in this context and I don't care to discuss but you couldn't be more incorrect and inscrutably so with regard to this context. Huhu.
