In response to Re the irrelevance of white man in Asia (amused)

Anyone who has seen intellectuals or authors stammer nonsensically while being interviewed
recognizes that writing style is never a "direct manifestation" of speech, no
matter how casual the written communication.

And who's stammering nonsensically for an interview here? Could we kindly stop using the "never" word? Everything you see in my posts particularly are worded the exact same way as though I were speaking them out loud. The majority of posters are the same.

In consideration of mental health, I do hope that your ornate convoluted writing style is not
a "manifestation" of your native language speech.

Considering English isn't my native language, claiming this statement to be for the sake of "mental health," would be like saying, "Your English is a bit too "crisp" for my native liking. There must be something wrong with you... mentally..." - I'll take this moment to clear my throat.

The majority of my English was learned through a textbook. As a result, when speaking, I just so happen to sound like one, as that's the English I'm comfortable speaking. I have no idea what an "intellectual" is, but I won't be so dim as to assume that speech and writing have no connection following this stream of logic. That is to say, majority of posters will type out a response, yes, but I highly doubt they will go back, re-order clauses and re-punctuate as if they were writing for academia. I'm no different; my thoughts just happen to go through a couple more mediums than the average English speaker.

You can be sure my writing style is a reflection of my speaking style, irrespective of how "ornate" or "convoluted" you find it to be. Even with that observation, it's upsetting particularly in the international community how quickly that equates to a mental issue than anything.

Anyway.
