Slippery language slide . . .

Speech is thought made audible.

Writing is thought made visible.

Any sloppiness in language, logic, clarity, accuracy, precision, syntax, grammar, eloquence, erudition, vocabulary, usage, idiom, spelling, punctuation, voice, style, wit, tone, or nuance – in roughly that order – leads to ambiguity & miscommunication.
