Weren't the three above words just long meaningless letters jumping out at you everytime a new word started with a capital? Thats what it did to me. How flat and numb words can be in certain contexts. Spoken or written.
When written there is a certain detached 3rd person outlook on the whole situation, because the person writing the words is not there to give a further explaination as to what a sentence means. It's either all there or it's not at all. The reader has to use a certain amount of guesswork to figure context, tone, voice, speaker, i mean with a basic level of logic sentences can be deciphered, but there is always a certain intimidating double edge to everything. When writing its hard to mumble, to whisper or to shout. When writing, it is easy to push through a fact but not so easy to convince.
When spoken, everything is revealed, the person's tone of voice, facial expressions and general mood is transmitted via the aural, visual, touch and aura. This too can be handicapping; with all of this information two things can go wrong. First, the person speaking can think something and say something else because of the limited time between the brain to vocal connection. Things spoken aloud are hard to take back, and often are transformed with subsequent additional sentences which are subject to quick thinking. Second, on the basis of past experience, the listener can attempt to deduce what the person is "really saying", where written academic words tend to be particularly bland personality wise, the vocal sense has a whole library of sonorities to enrich the ear with a bouquet of individuality. The speaker is immediately crucified to be saying something with a certain intention, before even having said anything.
No wonder its so easy to misunderstand...
