1) Writing, I find, is my version of thinking. My perception of myself is that I am UTTERLY incoherent if I have to speak from the top of my head, even on matters on which I am knowledgeable. I cannot imagine the text which would appear on screen if I spoke into would be anything other than blether of the most appalling kind.
2) What about sacrificing the silence which is important to clear thought? How common is it for people to be capable of thinking and speaking with equal clarity at the same time? Not everyone is Christopher Hitchens or Jordan Peterson.
3) I am noticing over the last few months that the use of voice messages on what's app is on the up. For those who can't be arsed to type, I assume. Similar thing, I guess.
I’ve always felt that the process of deliberate writing helps me articulate what I’m actually trying to say, or what I mean. I will give dictation a shot -- always good to explore different methods!
Just have to get over that awkward feeling like you are talking to yourself when you are "writing." That is often the reason I will type rather than dictate.

Sometimes screw any form of email (spoken or written) go old school and pick up the phone. Speaking to someone can do so much of the heavy lifting !
++Voice notes instead of dictating or typing a reply. Not entirely equivalent but a useful additional tool.
Apple dictate function is amazing. Also Loom videos!
I love you rory
Could you voice dictate another update? Paying for a year is great, but not getting an update in six weeks for your money not so great
