   • 2012, Tanya Luhrmann, When God Talks Back, Alfred A. Knopf:

     When we speak out loud, we use language differently from the way we do when we write, and the written form of spoken speech—the “transcriptese” that types out the grunts, verbal gestures, and conversational hedges of ordinary talk—can make people sound more foolish and more hesitant than they are.
