Interesting what kind of distinction do you draw between speech and words? 🤔
I'm sitting here in complete silence typing this comment out, I'm not using my speech. I am however using written words.
Technically you aren't using written words, but typed ones. Unless you are using some written-to-ocr system, but the end result is the same.
Boooooo
"That's right, use words!"
Perfect answer. 🙂
FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.
On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?
