I write very poorly but not a great speaker either, more a chatter box.
I need to write a lot of things I do onto paper, obviously Ancestry has to be jotted down,although once you enter the details onto an ancestry site it looks really shipshape…
Husband reminds me if I am writing out an address on an envelope to make sure it is readable…what a cheek… .
Writing I’m likely to use language I wouldn’t normally use in conversation. That comes from having to think more as you type, than you do if you speak. So, yes I would say my writing style is very different.
As a rule I try not to swear. I have a huge problem with rules.
Didn’t see anything about swearing in the first post, but depending on whom I am writing, there might be swearing. As far as speech goes, I tend to swear a lot when alone. I try to keep conversation civil in groups. How the f#ck did we get on this subject?
What you should really ask is do swear words still offend you or have you become inured to them through media, Personally swear words have little to no effect on me, except in judging character.
That was my fault Danny…when you said language I though you meant bad language.
I was bought up in a non cursing home environment. Then my boyfriend moved in with us for a short period. He said trust me your dad swears…I had never considered he had so was quite shocked…I learnt very easily at High School and it stayed at school until I Got older…My husband hates hearing me swear at anything,ever…that is the trouble as I know it so annoys him…
My writing is bad, it’s amazing any of my pen pals can understand my letters, yet they seem to. I guess over the years they have learnt how to translate them.
I think I write as I write as I speak, really…I find typing words a lot more natural and flowing now than writing with pen and paper (I know, sacrilege!), and my handwriting isn’t bad as such…although I was a much neater writer in school.
I feel like my writing style is more precise and stilted, as I only say once what I may repeat if speaking face to face. And, no laughing involved, and that’s not the true personality coming out of me.
Writing on a keyboard at work is formal and professional.
On OFC, it’s very casual since I’m usually using my phone and tend not to type loooooong posts.
Speaking at work, very courteous and professional but not so much if I’m home. Then I’m just casual, just me
…you sound like my son professional speaking at work, I even say to him sometimes when I ring him at work, that doesn’t sound like you,###*…he gets home ,he speaks like me,…I haven’t noticed whether my voice matches my writing, I think it does…I say “ A” a lot and ain’t it, I’m from Hampshire…I guess I’m pretty common,
