i fully understand what is meant by writing how we speak. i have to speak on an elementary level because that is what i know best. my students write exactly how they would speak. for example:
i went home cause it was gonna rain.
now i know that as a teacher i have to correct this, but so many parents reinforce this writing style when they send their children to school with homework looking like this!!
sometimes if we are not told the correct way to speak, it will carry over in our writing.
i am not talking about slang. i am talking about common grammar mistakes.
