RE: When Trying To Make A Point or Sell Something
Avoid words with ambiguous meanings, avoid Internal Jargon, and use technical terms only where needed.
A lot of people need to try to remember this. Like when writing books to teach people how to do something. Sometimes learning a new skill is mostly just cutting through people's bullshit to figure out what they're saying.
But what I say personally is usually straight from my mind. I don't think over what I say. Most of what I say is a direct line to my brain. Sometimes I use big words...but that's my natural voice.
I once had to fire someone and I was trying to be nice and I was nervous. I babbled on about how this might not be working out for about a 1/2 hour. I was so bad at delivering a message that the person showed up for work the next day. :) True story. Very Awkward.
If you were VERY awkward, you would have kept paying them.
I write from my head too. If it is for a casual audience, I don't even proofread.
In a formal situation, I would never publish anything without a proofreader.
My punctuation and sometimes verb tenses can get pretty messy. I also can't spell. Sigh.
I was talking about speaking. Though with casual typing I do kinda the same, with perhaps a minor amount of extra filtering, unless I'm intentionally freewriting on here. In a professional setting, I would do a hell of a lot of proofreading and rewriting of any report. I can kinda get by with my own proofreading...but depending the situation, I might ask for someone else to do it.
