Naw I'm just fuckin with you, I enjoy it but weep, I grew up during my manboyhood and manteen years loving to write cursively and colloquially with every fibre of my all to friends through the mail telling of my many adventures, like the time I fostered and nurtured a baby Water Moccasin!, and I still have my hawk-quill pen my uncle made and gave me. It might be because I'm severely left-handed but I really did and sometimes still do cry over how my friends have all basically said they don't have time to read letters anymore and that I should join the face-book but I can't, I suffer from B.R.A.I.N. (being resistant against internet networkings) I also remember when a run-on was fun, challenging and even an art form but it seems that within the past five to seven years there has been some kind of drive to shun and bury it in disdain and I blame it on "[i]Bureaucracy[/i]" and their technifalacies!

At least in writing I can keep the "ums" and "you knows" out of my speech. :) I sure try. At least in writing I can keep the “ums” and “you knows” out of my speech. :)

I too take a lot of pride in the fact that my writing, for the most part, is conversational. The person who told you "You should never write the way you speak.” is dead wrong. Sort of... what I mean by that is writing is all about your audience. Who is on the other end of the proverbial line. Sometimes you may need to write something that is not so conversational and is more one dimensional, if you will, as opposed to three dimensional. But I can tell you 9 times out of 10, I will write in a very conversational tone until instructed otherwise. Why? Because people say the words in their heads as they are reading the words and people do not say "I am going to the store, I will be back later," They say "I'm going to the store, I'll be back later." See the difference?!Again, great post and one that I can absolutely relate to. .-= Steve O´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/jcZG/~3/oHN7NY_Shyc/september-11th.html" rel="nofollow">September 11th</a> =-.
