With all due respect to MIDWEST DIVA, and DELTABRAT, I still don't get this "write like you speak stuff."
It is literally a conscious effort for me to write to somebody and use the word "gonna", even thought I'm positive that I SAY it all the time, so I don't understand where you all are coming from with this.
Do you mean that if people don't use subject and verb agreement in their speech, they won't use it in their writing?
Maybe I'm tripping, but I don't get how you all can say that with so much conviction, when it seems so untrue to me.
Like I stated, I'm posting this with respect due, and I'm not trying to attack anybody's opinion, I'm just trying to understand. Word up!!! (ok, the last part was a joke).
