I've learned most of the words I know without ever hearing them spoken, nor do I expect to EVER hear them spoken.

I've learned most of the words I know without ever hearing them spoken, nor do I expect to EVER hear them spoken.

I've learned many new words reading about nutrition and a few other technical subjects, words I've probably never heard pronounced and might not be able to pronounce correctly. But that is not true for less technical new words people might encounter reading, and also hear from others and learn to use in speech themelves.
