Quais as diferenças entre o inglês falado e o inglês escrito?

Alessandro,

Achei interessante o post que encontrei no Google sobre o assunto:



Pergunta:
Can someone suggest one example in which there is a difference between spoken English and written English in expressing one same thought ?

Resposta:

I suspect that anything that can be spoken in English can be represented in Writing, at least in the context of a direct quote or the dialog of a play. On the other hand, many things that you would hear in informal conversation would not be natural in, for example, a formal business report.

Spoken: - Joe really blew it; he's gotta get his act together.

Formal writing: - Joe made a serious mistake; he needs to become organized so he can be more consistently effective.

(The written form, of course, could be spoken, and it could sound natural in the context of a formal business meeting; it wouldn't sound natural in everyday casual conversation.)

Some written conventions are almost never spoken:
Written: - A number of recent movies, e.g. "King Arthur" and "Alexander", are based on stories of ancient heroes.

Spoken: - (You would replace "e.g." with (literally) "for example" or (more conversationally) "including".

(Here the spoken form would be ok in writing, but the Latin abbreviation is very common.)

I can't think of a specific idea that can be expressed only one way in writing and only a different way in conversation
