Hmm… yeah, many of the excellent writers in my school do speak eloquently naturally, most notably my friend who is ranked #1 in our class and third in the state for debate.

I, for one, definitely come across better in writing than aloud. I think part of this stems from my fear of sounding pretentious and thus my natural dumbing-down of my speech.
