You Should Sound Smarter In Writing

Speech is ephemeral. As soon as it is said, it's gone. When we talk, we usually have to shoot from the hip. We say what comes to mind as it comes, and when we're on a roll, we seem to speak faster than we can think of what to say next.

Writing is a planned act. Though we do it faster than ever these days, there is always a delay between you creating the message and the recipient getting it. And in that time, you have the chance to think about what you're saying. You can see your words, and you can choose to revise it or throw it out.

As such, you should sound smarter in writing. You have the time. You can check your spelling. You can check your grammar. You can check yourself before you wreck yourself.
