Writing and speaking are two different types of communication.
When we speak, it is more informal with slang, idioms, accents, and sometimes unclear pronunciation and poor grammar. However, when we write, we focus more on formal English structure. Writing is not just a speech written down on paper. There are differences between speaking and writing.
