Speech and writing - related?

I think they are sometimes related, but they definitely don’t have to be. Obviously, if somebody’s not a really quick thinker and/or gets nervous speaking in front of other people, they won’t look like an intellectual. However, that same person could be very content typing up a paper with nobody watching and with no time constraint. They’d then, obviously, seem like a different person even, if only judged by their speaking/writing skills.

Hmm though now, I went back and read through the original post again, and see that it was talk specifically about just everyday talking… so I’m not as sure.

It seems like a really really good writer would still be able to be quite the eloquent speaker, but I still don’t think they necessarily depend on each other.
